Biography

Julika Voss graduated with a Master’s degree in Marine Environmental Sciences from the University of Oldenburg in 2021. Her research focus is on marine mammal ecology, and she has gained practical experience in the Azores, Iceland and Italy, as well as statistical experience in analyzing acoustic and visual data from marine mammals. Currently, she is working as a scientist at BioConsult SH in two areas: (1) monitoring the impact of noise from offshore wind farms on harbour porpoises using Passive Acoustic Monitoring, and (2) a new service (SPACEWHALE) that uses artificial intelligence to detect large whales in very high-resolution satellite images.
