Career summary
43 peer-reviewed publications (http://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/view/author/Diepeveen,_Dean.ht…);
29 years research experience in agricultural and health sciences;
Specialist in grain quality for cereal germplasm screening (plant breeding), statistical methodologies using mixed models, spectral and rapid-screening technologies, and data mining.
Dr Diepeveen's thesis (2011) and current research focus uses decision and information management processes to contribute to:
1. Pioneering the application of unbalanced datasets to wheat breeding. The methodologies were derived from tree and animal breeding experience and successfully applied to data sets from a wheat breeding program.
2. Providing the first integration of molecular data into a decision-matrix framework.
3. Building on the molecular integration in output-2 by establishing a more sophisticated integration of complex NIR spectral data with molecular data.
4. Providing inputs into decision matrices for breeding using the outputs discussed above.
