About

Breeding decisions informed by better phenotyping.

I am a plant breeder and Research Assistant Scientist at the University of Florida, where I lead the Phenomics & Digital Breeding Team in the Blueberry Breeding & Genomics Lab. My work connects field breeding with phenomics, quantitative genetics, computer vision, robotics, genomics, and environmental prediction.
