Meet Plenary Speaker #2 - Dr. Quentin Geissmann
Dr Quentin Geissmann is an Assistant Professor at Aarhus University, where he leads the DARSA (Digital Approaches for Sustainable and Resilient Agriculture) group. With a background in both insect physiology and computational biology, Dr Geissmann has developed expertise in novel methods utilising robotics, remote sensing, and machine learning to study insects.
Throughout his international career in France, the UK, Canada, and Denmark, he has tackled fundamental questions in the lab, such as how and why insects sleep. Motivated by his desire to address real-world challenges, he has shifted his focus towards applying these innovative solutions to sustainable agriculture, using cameras and AI to monitor biodiversity and manage pests.
AI-powered insect detection and identification: from sticky cards to smart traps in agriculture and ecology
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and remote sensing are revolutionizing entomology and pest monitoring, offering transformative solutions for agriculture and ecological studies. This talk will delve into the latest developments in AI-powered insect detection and identification, covering both advancements in sensors (e.g., cameras) and software (e.g., deep learning), the promises and pitfalls of these technological solutions and elaborate on the current methodological and conceptual challenges.
