Sunny Tseng

Hi, this is Sunny! I was born and raised in a beautiful country called Taiwan, and now call Vancouver, Canada, my second home. I’ve spent much of my career conducting bird-related scientific research in Siberia, Taiwan, Canada, and Lithuania, collecting bird sounds from more than 300 species. Exploring this world with great enthusiasm and self-reflection is how I guide my life. I am a PhD candidate, also work as an ecological R data scientist and infographic designer. Feel free to get in touch!

  • 💻 I’m an R data scientist, proficient in R package development, Shiny apps, markdown documentation, and data wrangling/modeling for ecological questions. Most of my programming works can be found on Github

  • 🎨 I’m a scientific infographic designer, blending art and science. Check out my portfolio

  • 🐦 I’m an ornithologist specializing in avian acoustic research, passionate about recording bird sounds for storytelling. Most of my field recording collection can be found on Xeno-Canto

哈囉,我是奕晴,來自於一個美麗的熱帶小島 - 臺灣。台大物理系、森林系雙主修畢業後,到加拿大溫哥華就讀碩士班、博士,主要從事鳥類聲學研究,在這些年歲中,於臺灣、加拿大、俄羅斯、立陶宛等世界各地進行研究,收集了三百多種鳥類的鳴唱聲音。曾獲得國家地理頻道 Early Career Grant、加拿大鳥類學會 Taverner Award、加拿大自然科學與工程研究委員會全額研究獎學金。並已在國際期刊發表數篇研究成果。

平時以科學研究為正職,遊走於生態資料科學家、藝術繪圖者、自然書寫者等專業間。同時享受藝術創作、寫作、及野外錄音帶來的生活反思,某種程度上,我認為那更能反映出我所認識的世界。看到水會想跳、看到山會想爬、喜歡抱樹、喜歡一個人靜靜地走路、每天要花一個小時吃早餐。目前定居於加拿大溫哥華,另一個靠海的美麗地方,家門口望向海的方向,就是臺灣。
