MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS AT DIFFERENT SCALES.
The objective of my line of research is based on improving the efficiency of agricultural systems through the application of various emerging technologies that allow investigating the interactions between genotype, environment and management in Mediterranean climate crops. His expertise covers multiple crops and agricultural systems (woody crops, horticulture and cereals), technologies (thermal, hyperspectral, LiDAR), scales (ground, airborne and satellite sensors) and applications (irrigation management, plant breeding or crop modeling). His current work is based on developing new digital tools that enable more efficient farm management through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates innovative tools such as phenomics or robotics, crop simulation models, machine learning algorithms and real-time remote sensing technologies.
