Location: Soil Dynamics Research
Project Number: 6010-11120-009-029-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 4, 2023
End Date: Sep 3, 2028
Objective:
1. Advancing data-driven research in precision agriculture and the development of the Mobil Inelastic Neutron Scattering system and drones for use in agriculture.
2. Utilized mathematical results to program and improve MINS and drone performance and applicability.
Approach:
This project is to support research to work with ARS scientists on agriculture data science, Monto Carlo simulations, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) research. The Project methodology and program activities include:
-Hands-on training for stats, Monta Carlo simulation, programming and introduction to agriculture engineering.
-Working on summer project planning under faculty and ARS scientists for graduate students jointly mentored by ARS and UT at Arlington scientists. The program elements are:
-Agricultural data research that are jointly supervised by ARS scientists and UTA faculty,
-Remote working from ARS, workplace is at UTA campus. UTA provides office space and computation facilities,
-The research topics are in precision agriculture particularly in data analysis using Moto Carlo Simulations, modeling and machine learning.
