I am an agricultural scientist with strong multidisciplinary interests in the dynamics of soil-plant-climate interactions and a commitment to enhancing the resilience and sustainability of agricultural systems. With a background in agricultural engineering and water resources management, my work is at the interface of data science, crop physiology, cropping systems, hydrology, and agrometeorology. I develop and apply agro-hydrological and biophysical simulation models to (1) understand soil-plant-climate interactions in agricultural production systems, (2) reduce detrimental environmental impacts through improved management systems that continue to produce significant economic and social outcomes, (3) identify targets for crop improvement and environment characterisation (drought, heat, and frost), and (4) understand the implications of genetic variability, climate change/variability, weather extremes, and management for economies and societies.
