My research uses field images to predict crop yield, leveraging machine learning techniques to extract patterns and features correlating yield. These features include plant health indicators, growth stages, or canopy coverage. I am particularly interested in using these features to develop models that improve the accuracy of yield prediction, helping farmers make data-driven decisions. My approach considers temporal changes in the crop, capturing how its characteristics evolve. My work contributes to precision agriculture, a field that seeks to optimize resource use, increase productivity, and promote sustainability in farming. My research has the potential to transform traditional agricultural practices by integrating advanced AI methods.

Gray mold in strawberries is increasingly resistant to fungicides due to genetic mutations. This research identifies resistance levels by testing pathogen samples in the lab, allowing growers to choose effective treatments. Ongoing work analyzes resistance trends and integrates DNA tools to optimize spray programs and reduce waste, ensuring healthier harvests.
