Professional experience : • Thesis: Development of an Integrated Disease-Crop Lifecycle Model: Analysis of Blackleg Disease (Leptosphaeria maculans) in Canola (Brassica napus)
• Model Development: Developed a process-based model linking blackleg disease lifecycle with the canola crop module in APSIM Next Generation, providing a framework for predicting disease impact and improving management strategies.
• Data Analysis & Publications: Conducted comprehensive statistical analysis in R, resulting in two published journal articles, with a third under review, and a co-authored paper submitted for publication.
• Laboratory Expertise: Developed and implemented laboratory protocols, executing all experiments and completing reports on schedule, supporting reproducibility and consistency in disease modelling.
• Interdisciplinary knowledge exchange: Collaborated with experts across disciplines (crop and disease modellers, plant pathologists, crop physiologists, agronomists, and farming systems scientists), enhancing the integration of disease modelling and crop science.
• Research Dissemination: Presented findings through oral and poster presentations at national and international conferences and the Canola Pathology Workshop, contributing to knowledge exchange within the agricultural research community within and across borders.
