Interests:
My research interests include applied agricultural biotechnology, the structure and expression of plant genomes, the discovery and application of molecular genetic markers and their application for applied crop improvement, with a focus on crops. We apply a range of applied bioinformatics methods including machine learning for image, genomics and text data analysis. I established and coordinate a Master of Bioinformatics course as well as microcredentials in applied bioinformatics at UWA. To promote the field of applied bioinformatics and support the growing bioinformatics community in Western Australia, I established and lead the UWA Centre for Applied Bioinformatics with members across universities, hospitals and research institutes in Western Australia and internationally.
