Summer 2020 Remote Research

This summer I had the pleasure of working under Dr. Kathleen Pryer where I was able to intersect machine learning and plants. I spent my time annotating images of herbarium specimens and discerning between different types of insect damage. I primarily looked out for margin feeding, hole feeding, and skeletonization. I utilized an online website named V7 Labs to compile all of my work. It was a true pleasure working in a community of other students interested in herbaria and plants. Thank you, URS, for providing me the computer mouse necessary to conduct this exciting work.
