Torsten Pook

Torsten Pook is a Researcher specializing in Animal Breeding & Genomics. His work focuses on genetic selection, genotyping, and managing inbreeding in livestock and forestry systems.

Research Interests: He explores

• Genetic variability and divergence in breeding programs
• Genomic selection strategies for livestock (e.g., laying hens, sheep, dairy cattle)
• Adaptive forest genetics under climate change
• Quantum computing applications in agricultural systems

Recent Publications highlight his contributions to genomic evaluation frameworks, pollen-based migration for climate adaptation, and quantum computing integration in farming.

Academic Collaborations: He co-promotes a PhD project on Precision Breeding in Maize and has presented at conferences on selection strategies in animal genetics.
