Professor, EU rapporteur, former CEO
I have a PHD from North Carolina State University on mathematical animal genetics
I use SAS to analyze data sets, including repeated data, time series, various covariance structures
I have been evaluating EU projects SINCE 2004, preparing reports and acting as Vice Chair
I am the founder CEO of Canakkale Research and Technology Park Inc.
My current interest is distributed computing and its uses in Genetics
Science Park Inc. interview by Bogaz TV
DNA Extraction using kitchen ingredients
Hybrid Genetics, are they GMO?
