معرفی
Professor Marie Roch is a distinguished faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at San Diego State University within the College of Sciences. Her groundbreaking research bridges Bioacoustics and Machine Learning, focusing on advanced algorithms for automated detection, classification, and analysis of marine mammal vocalizations using passive acoustic monitoring.
- Core research in marine bioacoustic signal processing and deep learning applications for echolocation click detection
- Published extensively in Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Biological Reviews, and IEEE Transactions
- Developed deep learning frameworks for whale whistle extraction without human annotation
- Created open-source tools like Silbido Profundo for automated marine mammal call analysis
Marie's work has been supported by over $3 million in grants from the DOD Office of Naval Research, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and Human Frontier Science Program. She actively mentors graduate students and serves on numerous thesis committees, with recent advisees working on deep learning for baleen whale calls and terrestrial animal recognition. Her Marine Acoustic Research Lab (MAR Lab) leads in developing the Tethys metadata workbench for ocean acoustic data management.
