Sonia Sen from TIGS is looking for an interested an enthusiastic individual to join us to study the swim kinematics of different species of mosquito larvae to develop automated tools for their surveillance. You will be based in TIGS, Bangalore, and working collaboration with Subhasis Ray. So, if you like tinkering, are passionate about making a difference in public health, and want to be part of a cutting-edge project that combines technology and citizen science, we want to hear from you!

Project Overview: Mosquito Larval Swim Kinematics

Mosquitoes are vectors for many diseases. Active surveillance of disease carrying mosquito species can help public health officials prepare for disease outbreaks and target particular locations for control measures. Through this project, we aim to create an automated system that leverages citizen science to facilitate monitoring disease carrying mosquito species.

You will use Computer Vision and Machine Learning techniques to identify and track mosquito larvae from video recordings. You will train artificial neural network models and use them along with other computer vision techniques to identify and track individual larvae and analyse the data to answer scientific questions. You will also collaborate with a software developer to set up a pipeline for automating the process of identifying and tracking larvae from video data.

More information can be found here.

Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree or higher. People with engineering degrees are encouraged to apply.

Deadline: 20 July 2025
