Dr. Leila Character is bringing Machine Learning to Project Recover!

Currently, a Project Recover researcher must spend one hour analyzing data for every hour an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) spends collecting data. Long days on the water are followed by long nights poring over surveys of the seafloor.

Leila is preparing to change that. 

“A well-trained computer model can reduce time analyzing AUV-collected data by 90%,” Leila said. “What used to take 5 hours will take 45 minutes or less.”

Help Leila accomplish her mission!

Leila is a postdoctoral researcher with Mark Moline, Project Recover co-founder, at the University of Delaware’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment. 

Thank you for joining us as we welcome Leila to the team. It is a privilege to celebrate our exciting news with you.
