Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Corteva Agriscience

Biography

I am a postdoctoral research scientist in the biostatistics team of Corteva Agriscience. My research interests lie in the area of on-farm research, crop production and seed production. I enjoy combining statistical analysis and data visualization to make outcomes accessible to a broader audience. For my postdoc at Iowa State University, I worked on a project titled “FACT: WebBased Dynamic Data-Analytics Framework for OnFarm Research Networks”.

You can explore two web applications I developed with R Shiny by clicking here and here.

From 2019 to 2022 , I was co-leading R Ladies Ames with Xiaodan Lyu. Indeed, I like giving workshops and making tutorials about R coding.

In my spare time, I enjoy baking/cooking, spending time outdoors, and making craft.
