Research Interests:
My research focuses on site-specific crop management and precision agriculture, and the modeling and statistical analysis of spatial processes. Site-specific crop management is the management of a crop at a spatial scale appropriate to the natural variation of that crop (ordinarily for field crops in North America, this is a spatial extent smaller than that of the whole field). Precision agriculture is the use of modern information technology to achieve site-specific management.

Summary:
Application of systems analysis to crop and resource management; including statistical analysis; geographic information systems; and mathematical modeling
