About
Clara Fannjiang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of marine robotics, acoustics, and fisheries science. Her work centers on developing autonomous mobile platforms—specifically underwater robots—to revolutionize the monitoring and tracking of deep-sea demersal species. Her landmark 2020 study, which has garnered 60 citations, demonstrated the first successful use of mobile robotic platforms combined with seafloor-moored acoustic receivers to track 33 tagged lobsters at 400-meter depth over three months. This breakthrough provided unprecedented insights into the behavior and movement patterns of European lobster stocks, a key exploited resource. Fannjiang’s contributions are critical for advancing sustainable fisheries management, as her methods offer a scalable, non-invasive alternative to traditional survey techniques. By refining localization procedures for both receivers and tagged animals, she has set new standards for acoustic telemetry in challenging deep-sea environments. Her work not only enhances our understanding of demersal ecology but also paves the way for autonomous, long-term ocean monitoring systems that could transform how we study and protect marine resources.
