Jeffrey Detras is a Senior Specialist in Bioinformatics with over a decade of experience applying genomics and AI to rice research at the International Rice Research Institute. He combines deep domain expertise—from variant calling in the 3,000 Rice Genomes project to ontology curation—with hands-on development of high-throughput drone phenotyping pipelines like ImageBreed. A PhD geneticist with a background in plant breeding, he bridges computational methods and field-scale phenotyping to link genotype to complex traits. Jeffrey also mentors interns and students, serves in risk management for breeding innovations, and uniquely blends long-term curation work with emerging deep learning approaches for aerial image analysis.
