The Shark AI Project

Dr. Victor Perez will join us for our December meeting to discuss a recent project that introduced middle school students to computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) through the engaging lens of fossilized shark teeth. This three-year project was funded by a National Science Foundation Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers grant. Middle school students and teachers specifically learned about a branch of AI called computer vision by building models that could identify pictures of fossilized shark teeth. During the presentation, Dr. Perez will discuss the program design and outcomes, and demonstrate how attendees can build their own computer vision models using free online platforms. If you are interested in learning more about the project before the talk, check out the SharkAI Project website. In addition, Dr. Perez will talk about the newly established Prince George’s County Parks and Recreation Paleontology Program (aka PGPaleo) and share some opportunities to get involved as a volunteer or through our educational programming. Dr. Victor Perez is the Paleontology Manager for Prince George’s County Parks and Recreation, including Dinosaur Park in Laurel, MD. As a Maryland native, Dr. Perez’s paleontology journey began as an avid fossil collector along Calvert Cliffs. His primary expertise is on the Cenozoic fossil record of sharks and rays, but he has broad interests throughout the geologic timescale and across all branches of the tree of life. He earned his PhD in Geology, with minors in Zoology and Science Education, from the University of Florida. After graduating, Dr. Perez worked as the Assistant Curator of Paleontology at the Calvert Marine Museum and later taught in the Environmental Studies Department at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.
