I’m currently the crop management modeling lead at The Climate Corporation working on helping farmers increase their sustainably and productivity through the use of digital tools. With the use of both statistical and mathematical models we are working on helping farmers optimize and execute decisions on their operations.
Previously I was a post-doctoral researcher with Stephan Munch at the NOAA, Southwest Fisheries Science Center. I worked on developing model free multi-species management methodologies with the combination of non-parametric methods, dynamic programming and multi-objective optimization.
I received my Ph.D from the department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz in Prof. Mangel's lab. Through an integrated approach of field work, laboratory work and both statistical and mathematical modeling I developed methods to better understand how water temperature, individual food consumptions and competitive interactions affect the growth, survival and migratory tendencies of Steelhead.
Before then, I did received B.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, Merced. While at UC Merced, I was part of Prof. Ghezzehei's soil physics lab, where I worked on problems related to solute transport in saturated porous media and soil aggregate formation.
