I am a PhD student studying the vocalizations of Corvids, with a particular focus on Jackdaws (Corvus monedula). My research aims to understand if and how Jackdaws communicate through vocalizations. To achieve this, I combine innovative computational methods, such as unsupervised algorithms and deep learning, with more traditional bioacoustics techniques.
