Research summary
I manage and improve populations using data science, genetics, and breeding.
I am interested in:
(i) methods for genetics and breeding,
(ii) design and optimisation of breeding programs, and
(iii) analysis of phenotypic and genetic data to unravel biology and to inform new ways of improving populations.
