Wagner Faria Barbosa

Wagner Faria Barbosa is a researcher specialized in statistical modeling, and machine learning applied to agricultural and biological systems. He holds a degree in Agronomic Engineering, a Master’s degree in Crop Science, a Master’s degree in Applied Statistics and Biometry, and dual Ph.D. degrees in Entomology and Applied Biological Sciences (Brazil/Belgium), in addition to a second Ph.D. in Applied Statistics and Biometry. His interdisciplinary academic trajectory has allowed him to bridge biological questions with advanced quantitative methods. His work integrates mixed models, multivariate analysis, and predictive modeling to analyze complex traits, genotype–environment interactions, and high-dimensional datasets from field and laboratory experiments. With experience in toxicology, crop science, and computational intelligence, he develops robust analytical frameworks that enhance biological interpretation, improve predictive performance, and support data-driven decision-making in quantitative genetics and agricultural research.
