Who we are
BiOM (Biological Observation Monash) is a student-led team at the intersection of Conservation and Technology. We create innovative, accessible tools to support real-world environmental solutions. Bringing together students from science, engineering and computer science, we design and prototype technologies for Ecological Monitoring — from Environmental Sensors to machine learning in the field.
Our Mission
BiOM is more than just a student team. It’s a collaborative space where young conservationists build skills, form industry connections, and contribute meaningfully to environmental causes. As we grow, so too does our commitment to learning, curiosity, and action in the face of ecological challenges.
Projects
Forest Portal
The Nillumbik Shire is home to one of Victoria’s longest-running forest monitoring initiatives; an ongoing program that has collected rich ecological data for over eight years. This long-term commitment makes Nillumbik a uniquely valuable region for both research and innovation.
St Kilda Penguins
Nestled along Melbourne’s coastline, this project focuses on developing compact AI-powered acoustic monitors to detect and identify penguin calls for population and health tracking.
