Our Research

Exploring the intersection of digital technology and agricultural science to develop innovative solutions for sustainable crop production.

Research Areas

Agricultural Data Analysis

Leveraging big data approaches to analyze field performance data, weather patterns, and crop responses to various management practices. We develop predictive models and decision support tools to help optimize agricultural operations.

Crop Management Systems

Investigating innovative crop management strategies that enhance yield, quality, and sustainability. Our research focuses on optimizing inputs and management practices through a combination of traditional field research and digital agriculture approaches.

Computer Vision in Agriculture

Using image recognition and processing techniques to monitor crop health, detect diseases, and measure plant growth parameters. Our computer vision research aims to automate the collection of plant phenotypic data and enable early detection of stress conditions.

Research Collaboration

Interested in collaborating on research projects or learning more about our work? We welcome partnerships with academic institutions, industry, and government agencies.
