Summary of Research
I am developing advanced statistical and simulation-based inference methods to improve our understanding of biological systems under uncertainty. Currently, my work focuses on plant phenology-the temporal dynamics of key plant life cycle events-in response to variable and often unreliable exogenous information. By integrating generative Bayesian modeling, machine learning, and high-performance computing, I aim to build theoretically-grounded, data-driven models that inform resource management, and decision-making in dynamic systems, including agricultural and high-mountain landscapes.
