in biology from Harvard University (1996), and during this time she volunteered in a primate lab which she credits as her introduction to acoustics.
in biology from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (2000)[2] and spent time as a guest student at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (1996–2004).
[16] The data are from hydrophones that are part of the system used for monitoring for nuclear explosions and Susan Parks, Miksis-Olds, and Samuel Denes developed a metric that uses sound to assess biodiversity and found correlations between their metric and the number of whale calls around the hydrophones.
[19][20] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Miksis-Olds and others have been expanding the global network of hydrophones that can track changes in ambient sound in the ocean.
[21][22] Miksis-Olds is leading the development of software that will allow researchers to share and analyze the data being generated by this network of hydrophones.
