Modelling crop growth and development. Using remote sensing to help crop management. Impact of climate change on land productivity and crop diseases

I am an accomplished crop growth modeller and data analyst. I have practical and research experience at academia/agriculture industry interfaces. I am particularly numerate and have the ability to transform raw data into meaningful information and new knowledge. I have a broad range of technical expertise in data analysis, mathematical modelling, data management, computer programming, geographic information systems (GIS) and conducting field and controlled environment experiments. I am capable of achieving research goals and I enthusiastically foster multidisciplinary collaborations. I learn rapidly and constantly track and update my knowledge in my current research field and in IT. I am friendly, reliable and a good team player.

I act as an academic supervisor of PhD, MSc and BSc graduates. I provide advice and guidance on quantitative data analyses and computer programming to both academic colleagues and postgraduates. I work in tandem with other research scientists to develop various scientific programmes. I am also responsible for colleagues in analyzing experimental data, particularly in the areas of mathematical modelling and multivariate data analyses.
