This course aims to develop
1) advanced understanding of systems properties and systems modeling;
2) ability to transform biological hypothesis into a mathematical model;
3) ability to quantify the effects of single traits on whole plant performance;
4) ability to use simulation and data management software (e.g. R) for problem-solving;
5) advanced understanding of the recent development in phenotyping and phenotyping platforms and the ability to link phenotyping and modeling. 

Preliminary knowledge in plant biology and eco-physiology.
