I am a veterinarian and animal scientist with vast experience in the dairy industry, specializing in the development and optimization of precision agricultural tools.

My expertise encompasses various aspects of ruminant physiology, ruminal fermentation, biochemistry, statistics, data science, farm management, and product development.

Combining these skills, I have established a new scientific understanding of dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO2), a crucial ruminal metabolite that plays a pivotal role in optimal health, fermentation, and nutrition.

The patented ATR-IR IoT tool aims to prevent peripartum diseases on farms, optimize ruminal fermentation, and reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture by diminishing methane emissions through precision ruminal fermentation.
