Recruitment: new addition to the team

From Monday 22 April 2024 Dr. Giulia Moscatelli will start working on the Polyploidbreeding project (short bio here ). Giulia will join our team at CNR in Milan for one year as post-doctoral researcher; she will be active mainly with the processing and analysis of image-phenotyping and genome-sequencing data on barley, durum and bread wheat.

Her tasks will include:

• the training of neural networks for the automatic extraction of phenotypic traits from 2D and 3D images
• the modelling of genomes with different ploidy (2x, 4x, 6x) for the purpose of genomic predictions
• the subsampling of image data for phenotypic predictions

Welcome to the project, Giulia!
