Research Statement

I analyze on-farm testing approaches (spatial statistical analyses) using various data layers, including past yield, soil, and elevation. I also aid in evaluating sensor data for yield estimation for corn and soybean and developing on-farm research approaches for use by farmers and farm advisors.
