My name is Zheng Ni. You can call me Jason. (-_^)
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Industrial Engineering at Oklahoma State University, advised by Prof. Lizhi Wang.
My research focuses on genomic selection and prediction and plant breeding. I am interested in machine learning and simulation algorithms.
I am proficient in Julia, Matlab, Python, and R.
