I am a scientist interested in optimizing agricultural systems to maximize yield while reducing inputs and enhancing ecosystem services. I develop and open data and software that enables synthesis of observations with systems-level understanding to improve understanding and prediction of yield potential as well as ecosystem carbon, nutrient, water, and energy budgets.
Available for consultation and other opportunities to work with great people doing interesting and useful work.
