About
Lian Pin Koh is a pioneering conservation scientist whose work bridges ecology, technology, and sustainability. His research focuses on developing innovative tools for biodiversity monitoring, particularly through the use of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and artificial intelligence. Koh’s major contributions include co-founding the field of conservation drones, which has revolutionized how researchers track and study wildlife in remote and challenging environments. His highly cited paper on "TrackerBots" (2019, 63 citations) introduces a groundbreaking system of autonomous UAVs capable of real-time localization and tracking of multiple radio-tagged animals, offering unprecedented temporal and spatial granularity in ecological data collection. This work has opened new possibilities for studying endangered species’ habitats and behaviors, moving beyond traditional manual survey methods. Beyond his technical innovations, Koh is a leading voice in conservation science and policy, with his research influencing global efforts to combat deforestation and biodiversity loss. His interdisciplinary approach, combining robotics, ecology, and data science, has earned him widespread recognition and continues to inspire a new generation of researchers to harness technology for environmental protection.
