Field-scale cotton boll-opening maps from UAV and Sentinel-2 imagery, turned into zone-timed harvest-aid prescriptions and tested with spray drones on Texas High Plains farms. Also in-season cotton yield prediction from satellite time series and UAV crop monitoring.
I'm looking for

Sponsored research, co-development and pilot trials with input, equipment and digital-ag companies: validating boll-opening maps and zone-timed harvest aids on more fields, linking prescriptions to spray-drone software, and sharing imagery and yield-monitor data.
About
Postdoctoral Research Associate in precision agriculture at Texas Tech University. Ph.D. in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, University of Florida, with a mechanical engineering background. My work combines remote sensing and machine learning for crop management: cotton yield prediction and in-season crop mapping from UAV and Sentinel-2 imagery, deep learning computer vision for plant and animal monitoring, temporal attention models for satellite time series, and root-zone soil moisture dynamics. I also build field hardware for data collection. I help companies turn imagery, sensor and field data into in-season decisions for growers, with access to commercial cotton fields and multi-year UAV, satellite and yield-monitor data on the Texas High Plains.
