We are pleased to welcome Ella Burgun to the Echoview Software team as Technical Sales Representative.
With a strong background in science communication and marine biology, Ella brings both technical expertise and a passion for connecting people with science and technology. “I’ve been working in science communication for about 6 years, particularly in communicating STEMM to young people and encouraging them to pursue higher education,” says Ella.
Ella has recently completed her Master of Marine and Antarctic Sciences, majoring in Marine Biology at the University of Tasmania. Her thesis project was an innovative study identifying shark species in commercial fish oil and liver oil capsules, using molecular methods to extract DNA and identify the species present.
Reflecting on joining Echoview, Ella said I’m excited to work with the talented teams here at Echoview – we all come from such different backgrounds and have different areas of expertise and I’m looking forward to learning from everyone. Hydroacoustics is such an interesting area and I’m eager to see the kind of work that is happening all over the world using Echoview.”
Ella is also enthusiastic about emerging research areas including how Echoview’s software can be used with eDNA studies and offshore energy, “There are so many areas that I feel that hydroacoustic studies could be beneficial and I’m interested to see how our software can contribute.”
Outside of work she enjoys crafting (painting, scrapbooking, crocheting) as well as reading, cooking, and baking. “Now that I’m finishing up study, I’m excited to read about science for fun again instead of for my thesis!”
We’re thrilled to have Ella on board! Welcome to the team!
