Teaming for Interdisciplinary Research Pre-Seed Program
Advancing Precision Agriculture through Innovative Sensors and Data Science
Advancing Precision Agriculture through Innovative Sensors and Data Science
Our team of experts is on a mission to revolutionize agriculture by using advanced sensor technology and data analysis. We have a diverse group of specialists, each contributing their unique skills. For instance, Professor Kenan Song/Yang Liu/Jason Locklin is using 3D printing to create innovative soil sensors, while Professor Hongyue Sun is applying data science to make agriculture more precise. Our team doesn’t stop there – we also have experts like Professor Wesley Porter, Prof. John L Snider, and Cristiane Pilon, who ensure the reliability of these sensors, and Professor Ramaraja Ramasamy, who works on extending their lifespan. Together, we’re seeking grants from organizations like the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to support our work. Our goal is to empower farmers with data-driven solutions, so they can improve soil health, optimize resource use, and create a more productive and eco-conscious future.
Based on the team members and their expertise, our planned team-building activities will revolve around fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and enhancing our collective understanding of precision agriculture and sensor technology. To make sure our team works together seamlessly, we’re planning collaborative workshops, research seminars, and data-sharing sessions. We’ll collaborate on data analysis, present our research findings, and further help each other with grant proposals. It’s all about teamwork and using our diverse expertise to drive innovation in precise agriculture.
