 An expert in evolution and extinction\, her speciality is bat research and
  conservation. \n\nTo improve global biodiversity models\, she has develop
 ed new algorithms to automatically classify species using artificial intel
 ligence and has pioneered ground-breaking technologies to enable the publi
 c to monitor bat populations acoustically.  This led her to investigate ho

 gh animals (like Ebola or SARS).  With a global team of researchers\, she 
 has drew up a map of global hotspots to try and predict where the next 'zo
 onotic' disease will emerge.\n\nThrough her innovative\, broad cross-disci
