Dr. Pedro Machado received his MSc in Electrical and Computers Engineering from the University of Coimbra (2012) and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Nottingham Trent University (2022). Dr. Machado is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science, Course Leader for MSc Artificial Intelligence at Nottingham Trent University and first secretary for the IEEE Systemic Innovation Special Interest Group (SISIG). He is developing AI monitoring technologies to unlock the secrets of how underwater animals interact with their environment. The research is not just about watching fish swim; it is about using cutting-edge algorithms to understand their behaviour on a deeper level. Imagine being able to tell if a fish is feeling pain, predict disease outbreaks before they happen, or even gauge the overall health of a fish population. Dr. Machado's research has the potential to revolutionise how we care for our oceans, freshwater and natural resources allowing the early-detection and preventing declines in fish and plant life before it's too late. It is a chance to ensure the well-being of aquatic animals and the sustainability of these vital ecosystems.
