My work is at the intersection of informatics and agriculture. Currently, I’m designing information tools and data pipelines for cover crop research and practice at the Sustainable Agricultural Systems Lab at USDA ARS. In the past, I’ve investigated information challenges faced by smaller scale farmers in California and developed a modeling language to capture the inherent complexity of ag data. This summer, I will be joining Purdue’s faculty to start The Agricultural Informatics Lab where our focus will be on contributing to the technical foundation for an information ecology in sustainable agriculture.
