Sara Beery, assistant professor at MIT EECS, is recruiting PhD students to BeeryLab starting Fall 2027; applications are due to the MIT EECS PhD program by December 1, 2026, listing her as a potential advisor. She can also advise via the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, MIT EAPS, or MIT CEE.
The lab combines computer vision, deep learning, and ecology for global-scale biodiversity and environmental monitoring, tackling heterogeneous multimodal data, spatial intelligence, distribution shift, data quality issues, fine-grained categories, and long-tailed distributions. Projects include the INQUIRE natural-world image retrieval benchmark, interactive fish tracking (Teach a Molmo2Fish), sonar-based fish counting (EchoCount), and controllable scientific image restoration (PRISM). Its models are used globally by scientific collaborators, government agencies, and NGOs.
