Areas of Expertise

• Integrated cropping systems

Professional Summary

Research program:
My research focuses on five main areas, including

1. Quantify plant responses to environmental factors (climate, soil, water, nutrients, and pests)
2. Integrate high-throughput phenotyping and machine learning technologies to assess plant responses to environment variations and management inputs
3. Understand key plant and soil processes that govern crop growth and development
4. Develop cropping-system models that capture and integrate genotype, environment, and management interactions at multiple spatial scales (local, regional, national, and global)
5. Deliver systems-based decision-support tools to improve crop management, productivity, economics viability, and environmental sustainability

On-going research projects involve rice, energycane, and biomass sorghum production systems.
