Research and/or project statements

  • Statistical methods and applications in collaboration with scientific projects, for example:
    • Multivariate and causal modeling and spatial statistics regarding the effects of insects and fertilization methods on agricultural crops;
    • the effects of agricultural techniques and soil properties on soil microorganisms, soil carbon, and net energy return;
    • effects of transportation on structures of causal relationships between physiological variables and behaviour of cattle;
    • and the consequences of veterinary medicinal products on target pathogens and non-target microbiomes
    • etc.
  • Educating and training in SAS and R
