Research Interests

I am a quantitative geneticist interested in understanding and predicting the genotype/phenotype relationship. I am particularly involved in the modelling of genotype by environment interactions using association mapping and genomic prediction. I developed new approaches to improve association mapping detection power, and genomic prediction accuracy by optimizing the composition of the calibration set or by using crop-growth modelling. Recently I contributed to the development of a new approach for phenotype prediction (phenomic selection) based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy. I currently work on the integration of multi-omics data to refine our understanding of the genotype/phenotype relationship.
