BIO

I am a Research Associate with the Australian Plant Phenomics Network (APPN) at La Trobe University, working in agricultural and plant phenotyping research. My work focuses on applying computer vision, machine learning, and different sensing technologies to crop monitoring and phenotyping.

I completed my PhD at The University of Adelaide in 2025, where my research focused on imaging-based approaches for crop phenotyping and flowering prediction in individual wheat and canola plants using different sensing technologies under both controlled-environment and field conditions.
