About Me/Career

I am a plant scientist with a specialization in crop sciences. My interest at the moment is focused on the intersection of crops and technology in general, and on image analysis and open-field phenotyping in specific.

On this website, I share blog posts on a variety of topics and provide some background information on me and my work.
