Research Area

My research develops decision-support tools for dairy farm management, spanning cow culling and replacement decisions, whole-farm simulation using the Ruminant Farm Systems (RuFaS) model, nutritional grouping strategies, and crop rotation optimization. Across these areas, I integrate dairy science, simulation modeling, optimization, and artificial intelligence to support more economical, sustainable, and practical on-farm decision-making.
