Research

My research focuses on developing integrated precision crop and irrigation management systems to ensure food security and promote sustainable development. By leveraging advanced technologies such as field measurements, proximal soil and crop sensing, geospatial techniques, crop growth modeling, and machine learning, I aim to create innovative solutions that enhance crop yield, quality, nutrient and water use efficiency, economic returns, and environmental sustainability.
