My research interests are in the development of sensors and control systems for smart and digital agriculture. Major researches I am currently working on include the development of an automated hydroponic nutrient management system for greenhouses, the implementation of path generation and tracking algorithms for autonomous agricultural vehicles employed with GPS and sensor fusion, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) and cameras for spatial and temporal mapping of crop growth status.
