A doctoral researcher in biodiversity and environmental management, Brian holds two MA degrees (in Protected Areas, Natural Resources and Biodiversity as well as in Biology and Vegetal Biotechnology) and a BA in Food Science and Technology. He also has expertise in social sciences (postgraduate degree in financial strategy and management).
As an R expert and “mad scientist,” Brian will be working within our MULTIFLOW project. He will use large-scale multimodal datasets, extracted through tools built by the Daedalus lab, to build dataframes and models that integrate data from natural language processing of text, motion capture of gestural motion with computer vision software, and speech pattern recognition with audio processing software.
Brian’s contract is funded by a Ramón y Cajal Grant awarded to one of Daedalus’ directors, Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas.
