Teaching Interests & Areas
My teaching interests lie in physiology of animals. My currently teach anatomy and physiology of livestock and reproductive physiology of animals. I am also interested in swine management and courses in applied reproduction.
Research Interests & Areas
My research focus is on boar reproduction and stress. I am primarily interested in the effects of gestational stress on the postnatal outcomes in boars and boar reproduction. Additionally, I am interested in innovative technologies in swine reproduction and ways to improve efficiency and well-being in pigs.
