Senior🎓
Top SchoolVijay Ramesh is a quantitative ecologist and conservation bioacoustician with eight years of applied research and leadership experience, currently a Rose Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He combines expertise in remote sensing, landscape ecology, and ornithology to translate large acoustic and spatial datasets into conservation action, including co-creating a >200 km2 conservation plan and prioritizing habitat for the threatened St. Vincent Amazon. As co-founder of the India Ecoacoustics Network he has scaled a collaborative platform to over 450 contributors, securing grants and mentoring teams in deep learning, field monitoring, and science communication. His work bridges academic rigor—four to six peer-reviewed papers from doctoral and postdoctoral projects—with practical monitoring programs across the Western Ghats and island systems. He also facilitates international partnerships between NGOs, academia, and industry to operationalize habitat monitoring at scale. Based in Ithaca, NY, he brings a rare combination of hands-on field ecology, computational spatial analysis, and stakeholder-driven conservation implementation.
