FIELDS OF EXPERTISE include:- plant breeding (5y of experience in peanut 🥜)- genetics (6y of experience in peanut 🥜 & lettuce 🥬)- genomics (3y of experience in peanut 🥜)- bioinformatics (3y of experience in peanut 🥜)- agronomy (8y of experience)- sustainable agriculture (2y of experience)CURRENT RESEARCH specializes in the study of polyploids' genetics and genomic instability using peanut 🥜 as a model crop. My research will help peanut companies reduce seed contamination and mitigate the negative effects of diseases and climate change on peanut harvests. As a consequence, my research will help to provide food security and a healthy diet for those living in rural and less fertile areas across the world.WORKING SKILLS:-Phenotyping (e.g. detached leaf ☘️ method assay)-Nucleic Acid Extraction (e.g., DNA 🧬)-Genotyping (e.g., KASParTM assay, and SNP array testing)-Self-pollinated Crops Breeding and Management (e.g., single-seed descent peanut breeding, and peanut hybridization)TECHNICAL SKILLS:-Scientific Communication (e.g., Microsoft Office, Adobe, GIMP, and WordPress)-Data Analysis and Visualization (e.g., Rstudio, Python, JoinMap, and MapChart)INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE:-Leadership and Teamwork with Plant Breeders, Geneticists, and Bioinformaticians-Applied Cultivar Development-Experimental Designs-Molecular Markers-Linkage Mapping-Genome-Wide Association Studies-Genomic Selection and Prediction
