I am an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary researcher, as I have conducted research on such topics as statistics for agriculture, biology, and food sciences; survey sampling; data visualization; econometrics; mobile applications; bibliometrics and scientometrics; media and social communication; scientific writing; and a few more.
