I am a Ph.D. candidate from Dr. Gota Morota’s group in the School of Animal Sciences 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.

Excited to collaborate on research in precision livestock farming, quantitative genetics, AI, machine learning, and computer vision. Eager to contribute to innovative projects — reach out for potential collaboration!

Research Topics
