This is the largest project I have worked on and it is still currently in the works. Click the link below to learn more and see my current progress.
Description:
This project explores the use of artificial intelligence to automate the counting of Pacific field cricket sperm cells, a task traditionally performed by citizen scientists to study the effects of noise pollution on cricket fertility. I created a hand-labeled dataset, analyzed manual counting efficiency, and researched existing AI-based cell counting methods. Using ImageJ and the ACCT framework with trainable machine learning segmentation, I developed and evaluated an AI-assisted solution that achieved high accuracy while performing cell counts over 300× faster than manual methods. This project demonstrates how AI can streamline tedious scientific workflows and accelerate ecological research.
