I was trained as an Agricultural Engineer with extensive experience in Agricultural Mechanization and Automation, Precision Agriculture, and High-throughput Phenotyping. I am familiar with various crop production and cropping systems, including specialty crops (tree fruit, potato and dry beans) and row crops (soybean and corn). Research projects involve a large range of targets, including sensing technologies in precision agriculture and phenomics , and mechanical and robotic technologies in crop harvesting, management and breeding. Most research projects will be multidisciplinary, with close collaboration with experts in Engineering, Plant Science (breeding, plant physiology, stress biology), Agronomy and other crop related professionals. I am eager to work with any one.

I am now doctoral student in Bioengineering at the University of Missouri. I received my B.S. in Agricultural Mechanization and its Automation from Nanjing Agricultural University in 2013 and my master in Agricultural Engineering in 2015. In 2017, I joined the Precision Automated Agricultural Lab and I am working on High-throughput phenotyping for soybean breeding.

Chin Nee Vong joined the lab in January 2018 as a PhD student and research assistant. She earned an Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering bachelor degree at the University Putra Malaysia in year 2014 followed by a Plant and Soil Science master degree at Arkansas State University in year 2017. Her previous research experience included studying oil palm trees and bunches using remote sensing techniques (laser scanning and thermal data) and developing an agricultural nozzle clog detection device prototype for precision spray application. Her current study is utilizing UAV-based remote sensors in facilitating crop management including forage and soybean.
