My research focuses on developing new software and computational methods to advance agriculture by understanding and controlling microbial communities and applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to agricultural data.

Research areas

  • Applying machine learning to agricultural data (sequence, image, and chemometric data)
  • Engineering and optimizing microbial consortia
  • Developing software (e.g. Itsxpress, Guidemaker) for bioinformatics
  • Applying volatiles mass spectrometry and machine learning to agricultural challenges
  • Viral metagenomics

Service areas

  • Design and sequencing of amplicon, metagenome, and metatranscriptome experiments
  • The development of training courses for ARS, like our 2019 UF/ARS Machine learning Workshop
  • Guiding SCINet ARS’s scientific computing initiative as Chair of the SCINet Advisory Committee
  • Establishing the ARS AI Center of Excellence in collaboration with our Associate Administrator and Chief Scientific information officer
  • Editorial board for the journal ACS Agriculture Science and Technology
