We are seeking for a motivated PhD student with a background in dairy science, data analysis, and/or computer science or related fields. Preferred is a strong academic background on data analytics within dairy or livestock production systems. The student will work in the intersection of the Dairy Brain project and the Ruminant Farm System Model (RuFaS) initiative in an exciting opportunity to use whole farm simulation modeling as the architecture to apply integrated data from different dairy farm sources to deploy continuous descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.
Student will work closely with two diverse, multidisciplinary teams of researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Cornell University, and engage with many other university, industry, and USDA research centers across the US. The student will work to capture and integrate dairy farm production data through the Dairy Brain project platform and analyze whole dairy farm systems to probe complex questions about trade-offs in production, environmental footprint, and economic outcomes using the RuFaS platform. The student will also have the opportunity to lead the development of one or more simulation models intended for decision support as a tool or tools for dairy farming.
