Climate-smart agriculture
Climate-smart agriculture
My research focuses on developing systems and investigating the application of robotics and computational intelligence to efficiently and safely use tools to promote resilience such as protected cultivation systems. I also study the impact of agricultural activities on the environment. Please see the example videos below.
Non-destructive and rapid sensing tools for smart agriculture
Non-destructive and rapid sensing tools for smart agriculture
Using data-driven and computational approaches, I focus on using near-infrared and other optical sensing techniques to develop portable and cost-effective chemometric, rapid, and non-destructive measurement systems for agricultural applications. Examples are shown in the videos below.

System modeling and optimization
System modeling and optimization
I model and optimize systems and machines using computational tools to facilitate precision in horticulture, livestock, and other areas of agriculture. An example is shown in the video below.
Commitment to Promoting and Enhancing Diversity
Commitment to Promoting and Enhancing Diversity
As a person who has studied and worked in an environment where I have been in the minority over the past seven years, I am aware of many academic challenges among under-represented groups. This motivates me to be dedicated to creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment at all levels.
