Design and optimize imaging systems for field and greenhouse applications.
Data Analysis and Dissemination: Conduct statistical and genomic analyses using R, Python, and bioinformatics tools. Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and present findings at scientific conferences.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, including plant breeders, pathologists, and computational biologists
