Also known as: 

Dr Els Vermeulen is a senior lecturer and research manager at the Mammal Research Institute (MRI) Whale Unit within the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. With over 20 years of experience in research on whales and dolphins, her main interest and expertise lie in population biology, ecology, and associated conservation management. As manager of the MRI Whale Unit, she is responsible for the continuous project development and execution, administration, fundraising, student supervision, and community and policy engagement. Due to her interest and expertise, the Whale Unit’s research projects range across a broad national and international geographic and institutional spectrum and align mainly with the role of large baleen whales in the Southern Hemisphere Ocean Ecosystems. Based on her expertise, she is a member of the South African National Committee for the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SANC for SCAR), the IUCN Cetacean Specialist Group, the IUCN Red List Authority and Co-Convenor of the Conservation Management Plans (CMP) Subcommittee at the Scientific Committee of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). She is also appointed vice-chair of the IWC - Southern Ocean Research Partnership. In addition to her research expertise, Dr Vermeulen has a solid capacity to bring together diverse experts across various fields to advance overarching global goals in cetacean research, as evidenced in her leadership in the IWC-SORP research themes on southern right whales and humpback whales, the Southern Right Whale Consortium (SRWC), the South African Humpback Dolphin Consortium (SouSA), and the Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphin Network (HuDONET). Dr Vermeulen has a C2 rating from the NRF.
