I develop data-quality-aware, uncertainty-calibrated AI for noisy, incomplete, high-dimensional sensing data. I integrate hyperspectral imaging, UAV and satellite data, sensor fusion, error estimation, and spatiotemporal modeling for agricultural and ecosystem systems.

Academic, industry, and government partners to co-develop and validate AI-enabled sensing technologies for agriculture, food, water, biomass, and the circular bioeconomy through shared data, sponsored research, field trials, joint proposals, and commercialization.
About
I am an Assistant Professor in Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota and founder of the Sustainable Analytics for Green Ecosystems (SAGE) Lab. I develop reliable, uncertainty-aware AI/ML methods for small, noisy, incomplete, and high-dimensional sensing data. I integrate hyperspectral spectroscopy, computer vision, UAV and satellite imagery, in-field sensors, error estimation, and spatiotemporal modeling. I apply these methods to precision agriculture, food safety and processing, crop and resource management, biomass and bioenergy, material sorting, water-quality assessment, and environmental forecasting. I seek to translate data-driven methods into deployable technologies through interdisciplinary and industry partnerships.
