Research Interests:

My research interests at the WMSRU are to improve water productivity (yield per unit water consumed) of irrigated agronomic crops integrating remotely-sensed information from ground, UAV, or satellite sensors and to estimate crop water use, understand crop response to water stress, develop irrigation scheduling tools, and provide information to optimally allocate limited irrigation water.


Degrees:

Ph.D. Biological & Agricultural Engineering 2010 Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA
M.S. Electrical Engineering 2005 San Francisco State University, CA, USA
B.S. Electrical Engineering 1998 Tongji University, Shanghai, China
