I am an Ecology and Evolutionary Biology PhD student at the University of Michigan working with Dr. Stephen A. Smith . My current project, LeafMachine , aims to automate much of the work required to obtain leaf trait data from herbarium specimen vouchers using convolutional neural networks, support vector machines, computer vision, and object detection algorithms. I study leaf-shape evolution in angiosperms. At the University of Colorado, Boulder I double majored in environmental studies and ecology and evo
