Héloïse Frouin-Mouy, Ph.D.

Héloïse Frouin-Mouy is a marine biologist/bio-acoustician who has been studying marine mammals since 2004. Her current expertise is mostly in marine mammal biology and the analysis of passive acoustic data. During her Ph.D. (at the National Institute of Scientific Research in Canada) and post-doctoral fellowship (at Fisheries and Oceans Canada), she studied the impact of contaminants on the immune system of several marine mammal species. From there, she worked for a Canadian underwater consulting company (JASCO Applied Sciences) as a bio-acoustician for 9 years focusing on the acoustic spatial and temporal distribution of marine fauna (mainly pinniped and cetacean species) notably in the Arctic. She joined the Marine Mammal and Turtle Division’s Passive Acoustic Ecology Program in 2021 as a University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR)-contracted postdoctoral associate, helping with density estimation and project management as part of the Open Ocean noise reduction restoration and Restore Science Gulf-wide passive acoustic monitoring projects. Currently, Héloïse works at the SEFSC as an Assistant Scientist for the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS). She is currently involved in multiple projects including studying beaked whales' acoustic and diving parameters using acoustic tracking in the Gulf of Mexico and presence of marine mammals in the Caribbean Sea using gliders. She is also a Visiting Scientist at the University of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) in the Department of Biology and a Courtesy Research Assistant Professor in the Institute of Environment, in the College of Arts, Sciences & Education (CASE), at Florida International University.
