Overview

Robert completed his B.Sc in Plant Genetic, Breeding, and Biotechnology at Purdue University. Currently, Robert is studying and developing multi-objective optimization strategies for applications in plant breeding. He hopes that his work can be used to improve crop development when there are multiple traits that need to be improved simultaneously.

Current projects

Currently, Robert is working on the development of an open-source software that can be used to simulate and optimize plant breeding pipelines. The first version of this software has been completed, but he is working on writing up the publication. Once the published has been completed, he will release the package to the public.

Future projects

In the future, Robert will be looking into testing several novel multi-objective breeding strategies using the software package aforementioned.
