Detection of varroa vibrations
We propose to estimate a honeybee colony varroa infestation levels by monitoring the vibrations that fallen mites generate when they walk on the hive's "bottom board".
Field of Expertise
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, signal processing, spectral analysis, biometrics, machine learning, high level language programming, automated condition monitoring, image analysis, bioacoustics, biotremology.
Expertise
I have 20 years of experience in running research in MRI, in particular in the design of contrast agents allowing the imaging of the tissue pressure. I have 15 years of experience in condition monitoring of honeybee colonies with accelerometers, in experiments where I have designed the full chain of acquisition and the signal processing. I have also published in human gait analysis, bioacoustics, sports science and MRI of fluid flow in rock specimen.
