About

I have received my Ph.D. from the Department of Agronomy at Iowa State University with a Minor in Statistics. My research integrates crop physiology, digital agriculture, and statistical modeling to improve management and quantification of spatio- temporal variability in cropping systems. Much of my research has centered on physiological responses to nutrient availability, photoperiod, temperature, and genotype-by-environment interactions. I have worked extensively on tissue analysis, canopy dynamics, and phenological development in corn, soybean, and cover crops.

Research interests

There are several research areas that fascinate me. A short list of those would be: crop physiology, crop models, remote sensing, soil fertility, and statistical models.
