I’m a postdoctoral research scientist at the USDA-ARS. My mission is to use remote sensing and artificial intelligence tools to augment the breeding and production of key crop species.

I use a wide range of remote sensing tools such as small unoccupied aircraft systems (sUAS), or “drones”, satellite imagery, and field-based proximal sensors. Once these data are collected, I use machine learning techniques to estimate or predict key traits including yield, drought tolerance, quality, and more.

Please contact me if you’d like to ask about my work or if you’re interested in collaborating!
