Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Entomology and Plant Pathology Department at NC State. My research interests lie primarily in the area of plant disease prediction and crop loss assessment. My research concentration in Dr. Peter Ojiambo’s lab is in plant disease epidemiology and integrated management using Stagonospora nodorum blotch, a fungal disease of wheat, as a pathosystem model.

Mapping and Sampling Wheat Fields in North Carolina using R
Introduction In this post, I’ll walk you through a workflow for mapping and sampling agricultural fields in the U.S., using wheat in North Carolina as an example. Randomly selecting coordinates of agricultural fields is important when testing a model.
Data imputation for designed experiments
Whenever I get my hands on a new dataset (regardless of data being collected by me or someone else) and I find missing data, and that makes me frustrated. And do you know when that happens?
Analysis of quantitative factors in split-plot design
Analysis of Messy Data Vol.2, Milliken and Johnson, 2009. pg 440 In this experiment, researchers are interested in evaluating the effect of moisture and fertilizer on dry weight of wheat.
