Speaker Biography:
Amanda Alvarenga has recently completed her Ph.D. degree at Purdue University under the supervision of Dr. Luiz Brito. Her research was focused on quantitative genetics and genomics, and a few topics included (i) data simulation to evaluate single-step genomic prediction approaches in crossbred populations, (ii) a systematic review of genes controlling behavioral indicators in livestock species, and humans, (iii) evaluation of behavior in American Angus calves, (iv) behavior as a longitudinal trait in American Angus dams, and (v) evaluation of an across country evaluation for American and Australian Angus populations. Amanda has recently started a position as a data scientist focused on plant breeding at Corteva Agriscience in the USA, where she will partner with plant breeders to drive analytical genetic gains.
