Overview

  • My research is focused on the integration of dairy cow biology and precision dairy technologies. With a specific emphasis on epidemiological methods, through my research I hope to expand our knowledge of transition cow physiology while optimizing and validating technologies that can improve cow health, well-being, and productivity.
