About Aleksander L. J.
With the increasing demand for world food supply, evolution of new crop pests and diseases, so does the need for developing new high yielding crop varieties with new desirable traits, and innovative ways of producing them. My passion lies not only in the creation of genetically superior crops to meet those demands, but also to develop and improve cost effective agronomic inputs, and post-harvest processes to enable production of high quality seeds for growers and farmers.If you take the time to review my profile, you will find a proven track record of developing novel research methods to measure and advance cost-effective process improvement in seed production and demonstrated competency in plant breeding in tropical and temperate environments. I am data-driven with the ability to simplify complex research results to end-users. I have managed a wide variety of breeding and production research projects to completion, allowing advancement of corn hybrid products to commercialization. I am a people coach, mentor and leader, multi-lingual communicator, substantiated by strengthened collaboration among multidisciplinary teams. My areas of expertise include: Experimental Designs Plant Breeding and Genetics Quantitative Genetic Analysis of Traits Management of Confined Field Trials (USDA Agriculture, EPA Environmental) Technical Writing Data Analysis and Interpretation (JMP, SAS, SAP and TIBCO Spotfire) Team Mentoring and Training Program Administration Peer Review of Scientific and Technical Reports - Sample of reports below. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)I am available to discuss new opportunities, please contact me at Gmail, aleksander.josue.
