Nicole Cocks

Nicole Cocks is an Honorary Fellow at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, University of Wollongong, Australia. Her research focuses on interdisciplinary applications of statistics in agricultural and marine sciences, particularly in fishery livelihoods, plant breeding trials, and climatic risk management for crops.

Her recent work explores wicked problems in fisheries through capacity building. Earlier publications highlight statistical methodologies for optimizing plant breeding trials and assessing frost susceptibility in wheat cultivation. She collaborates closely with agricultural and marine scientists, contributing to sustainable resource management frameworks.

Her research has been funded through external grants like the Statistics for the Australian Grains Industry (SAGI) initiative, reflecting her impact in applied statistical analysis for agricultural and environmental challenges.
