Deep Learning ⎟ Computer Vision ⎟ Genetics ⎟ Data Science

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Dr. Juan Pedro Steibel’s group in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University.
I earned my Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. Gota Morota in the School of Animal Science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
My research interests focus on incorporating artificial intelligence, computer vision, statistics, phenomics, and genetics to study animal and plant sciences.
Happy Spring! 🌷🌸🌿🌞🐦🌼🌻🐝🦋.
