Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJuan Ulloa is a scientific researcher and engineer with eight years of professional experience and a PhD in Ecoacoustics and Machine Learning, focused on bringing advanced AI and signal-processing tools to conservation. Based in Bogotá, he develops and deploys automated acoustic monitoring pipelines and ecological indicators for tropical soundscapes, blending deep learning with practical sensor deployments. As co-creator of the widely adopted open-source Python package scikit-maad, he has helped democratize bioacoustic analysis for researchers and practitioners across Latin America and beyond. His work spans fieldwork in French Guiana to programmatic leadership at Colombia’s Humboldt Institute, pairing rigorous research with operational monitoring programs. A former IT specialist at IBM, he combines systems engineering discipline with research creativity to make complex ecological data accessible and actionable. He is driven by scaling technology adoption in conservation, often translating novel methods into free, modular tools for the scientific community.
