Research Interests
I am broadly interested in conducting research that will contribute to the improvement of agricultural practices to best meet the global demands for food security and economic development in rural communities. I am specifically interested in conducting research that will enhance aquaculture production by linking “omics” data (i.e., genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic) and high-resolution analyses (e.g., machine learning) to culture parameters and important phenotypes.
Although my specific interest is in aquaculture, this type of integrated research can be applied across agriculture sectors to further meet food security goals. I plan to continue to develop my skills and those of students and members of the upcoming workforce in science- and agriculture-related fields to integrate bioinformatics with fundamental scientific knowledge and applied methodologies in order to advance the transfer of research findings into practical technologies that can be used by industry.
