Presenter

Marie-Angelique Laporte - Associate scientist at Bioversity International with a Ph.D. in ecology from the University of Montpellier. Her doctoral research focused on the integration of functional plant trait data. As a postdoc she worked at the French Institute for Research in Development (IRD) in Montpellier on automatic classification of remote sensing images using ontologies. She also worked with the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena on developing a semantic system used by the TRY database. In 2015, she joined Bioversity to work on the NSF-funded Planteome project for the development of a set of reference ontologies for plants. In her current role, Marie-Angélique works on various data related issues, including developing ontologies and metadata standards, and applying text mining techniques to extract agricultural information. She is involved with the CGIAR Big Data Platform, the Crop Ontology and the Agronomy Ontology projects.
