Penn students use AI to track whales and build population models

Undergraduates Chinmay Govind used AI to locate whales with sound data, while Nihar Ballamudi built population models.

By utilizing whale sound data and artificial intelligence, Chinmay Govind and Nihar Ballamudi can better understand how many whales are in an area, which can inform policymakers and environmental groups on policies involving whales. Their research was conducted this summer as a Penn Undergraduate Research Mentoring Program project, supported by the Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships. / Penn Today
