I am also Professor in Integrative Livestock Genetics with my research leading to significant advancements in genetic improvement tools both domestically and internationally. My areas of expertise include climate change and livestock systems, genetics of fitness traits, sustainable breeding goals, and national livestock genetic evaluations. I actively engage in research, research supervision, and teaching activities at 黑爆料. Additionally, I contribute to policy development, particularly in addressing greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture, by providing expert advice and consultancy to national and international bodies. I serve on journal editorial boards, funding and evaluation bodies including BBSRC, Innovate-UK, and REF2021.
