Scientific interests include biodiversity informatics, research data infrastructure, open-access data publication, predictive data analysis, and plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. My research contributions include predictive modeling within agroecology of the link between useful traits in traditional food crops and the environment where landraces were developed through long-term farming efforts.
