valentinitnelav/README.md

Hi, I'm Valentin 👋

I am a postdoc at UFZ and iDiv in Leipzig, Germany.

I enjoy building open-source tools that help turn biodiversity observations into useful data and insights. My work ranges from scientific R packages for data processing and analysis to computer vision and AI-powered smartphone apps. I'm particularly interested in making biodiversity monitoring more accessible through affordable smartphones and on-device AI.

More about my work, software and publications: GitHub website

Work with me:

  • Training, tuning and deploying AI models
  • Turning raw image collections into analysis-ready datasets
  • Statistical analysis with documented and reproducible workflows

📫 You can reach out to me via LinkedIn

Email is an option too (valentin [dot] stefan [at] ufz.de), but those inboxes get cluttered with a lot of spam & phishing nowadays, so LinkedIn is safer.

I manage pretty well in English, get by in French, am terrible at German, and am fluent in Romanian, though that last one doesn't come in particularly handy 😊
