Research Interests

My research interest is to advance field-scale precision agriculture through the integration of remote sensing and plant ecophysiology to mitigate  impacts of extreme weather on crop productivity, by: 1) discovering and utilizing links between remotely sensed signals, plant physiology and crop yield for agricultural applications; 2) innovating reliable and broadly applicable remote sensing tools to monitor and forecast crop stress; and 3) integrating meteorology, remotely sensed signals and plant physiology to provide useful farm management recommendations. The goals of my research are to better understand the ability of crops to adapt to future environmental risks, and utilize that knowledge to improve food security.
