About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biological Systems Engineering at the University of California, Davis. My work stands at the intersection of agriculture and technology, where I specialize in precision agriculture and AI-driven plant phenotyping. My research core involves leveraging unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs), computer vision, and deep learning architectures to optimize agricultural monitoring and data-driven decision-making.
Research Interests
- UAV Remote Sensing: High-resolution agricultural monitoring and data acquisition.
- Precision Agriculture: Site-specific management and biophysical modeling.
- Computer Vision: 3D reconstruction and vision algorithms for specialty crops.
- Deep Learning: Advanced plant phenotyping and feature extraction.
