Data management, databases, data entry, liaising, conservation, seed conservation, bioinformatics

I assist in the management of various databases, the digitisation of newly received seed donations, as well as the development of new data management and extraction tools using R programming, designed for public use. By liaising across departments I am also involved in collaborative research, Kew and partner queries, and contribute to public engagement at the Millennium Seed Bank. My own projects include the exploration of geospatial analysis techniques to optimise conservation methods primarily with ArcGIS.
