ABOUT THIS WORK

Research and tools, grounded in agronomy.

My background includes crop management research and teaching, followed by digital and computational agronomy. I now help develop and evaluate data and AI tools for agricultural decisions. This site shares public projects and selected publications; the ENSO–Yield Explorer uses USDA NASS yield data and NOAA climate classifications.
