Research:
Elise has a strong interest and background in bio-mathematics and computational biology. Her work centers on the consolidation, analysis, and modelling of data collected over the course of the SoyFACE experimental history. The analysis of data from the past 20+ years of FACE experiments allows for the development of mathematical models that could aid in predicting agronomic responses to future climatic conditions.
