Biography

James is a modeller who uses his background in comparative nutrition and physiology to model livestock growth and sustainable livestock farming systems. He uses big data approaches to improve decision support tools for livestock producers and to explore how cattle and sheep can be a vital part of circular agriculture and nutrient recycling. He joined CSIRO in 2023 as part of the Impossible Without You program’s Future Protein Mission.

James is originally from South Florida, and studied Animal Science and Spanish at Iowa State University before moving to California to obtain a PhD in Animal Biology at UC Davis. From 2019-2022 he worked for NSW DPI and the University of New England as a postdoc in modelling of animal nutrition and energetics, where he worked as part of a multi-institutional team to revise Australian feeding standards for ruminants.

Other Interests

In addition to his scientific interests, James enjoys fibre arts and is an active member of the Queensland Spinners Weavers and Fibre Artists guild. He also enjoys bushwalking, video games, and trying to recreate recipes he saw on MasterChef. He has two cats, Annie and Rogue.
