I use deep learning models to analyze biometric data to use in image recognition and vocal recognition. I use R and Python to process and analyze large sets of data. These are some small toy projects:
Cleaning Spotted-wing drosophila and weather station data
The script I used to clean and process a large database of trap and weather station data can be accessed here:

Automated recognition of insect pests in traps using neural networks
For this project, we are fine-tuning a pretrained faster_rcnn model to accurately identify males and females of the spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) and individuals of Drosophila melanogaster in mixed images.

Pest abundance analytics using machine learning
We use machine learning models to determine if we can predict the risk for pest infestation in a particular site based on environmental variables.
A case study for a single area and sample script for this project can be found at:
