Research Officer- Biologic System ModellingResearch Interests
- Simulating biological system using mechanistic models.
- Predicting grass growth in real time on commercial farms.
- Better understanding of the interaction between soil, grass management, the animals and grass growth.
- Improving N use efficiency and reducing N leaching
- Precision fertiliser application
- Predicting animal intake at grazing
- Climate adaptation
