Hello everyone,
I am an experienced Data Scientist and I am currently studying a second master in Environment Management (ULB - Belgium). I am currently looking for a master thesis subject for that master (ending in August 2026 at the latest). I am deeply interested in wildlife conservation technologies (acoustics, camera traps, eDNA, ...) and citizen science, but I could be open for any kind of topics. Ideally, I would love to have a field experience during that project.
Does anyone of you have any suggestions or would be ready to collaborate with me on his project ?
NB : I see this MA as an important professional retraining so I am ready to commit myself deeply to the project. As I am not looking for a pure "data" project, I would be still glad to bring my expertise on that matter.

Hi Simon,
Did you already contact INBO? Both biologging and citizen science are big themes at INBO. Last year we had a master thesis on camera trapping invasive muntjac. You can send me a private message for more info!

Hi Simon,
We're a biologging start-up based in Antwerp and are definitely open to collaborate if you're interested. We've got some programs going on with local zoo's. Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like to know more.

Hi Simon,
We (Reneco International Wildlife Consultants) have an ongoing collaboration with a local University (Abu Dhabi, UAE) for developing AI tools (cameratrap/drone images and video analyses) and biomimetic robots applied to conservation (e.g https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1574954124004813 ). We also have a genetic team working on eDNA. Field experience could be possible, in UAE or Morocco.
Feel free to write me back if you may be interested and would like to know more
