I am a Principal Research Scientist (Weeds) and lead a rigorous Weed Research Program at Wagga Wagga Agricultural Institute, NSW DPI. I have more than 25 years of experience in weed research, management and extension. My research ranges from weed identification from machine learning (WeedScan) and eDNA, weed biology and ecology to chemical and non-chemical options to manage some of the high priority weeds affecting crops and environment.
