ABOUT ME

Hi there 👋
I am Ella Taagen, and you can call me Ellie. This is a website I made for my Ph.D. research; for more current updates on what I’m up to check out my GitHub and LinkedIn. I love new challenges and opportunities to leverage data for innovation and strategic impact - let’s connect!

I completed my Ph.D. in Plant Genetics at Cornell University in Dr. Mark Sorrells’ Small Grains Breeding and Genetics lab, where I led in-silico and in-vivo projects related to the two primary novel sources of genetic variation, recombination and mutation during meiosis.

I am currently a data scientist at Bayer collaborating on innovative crop genome editing discovery projets and our data product management.
