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.

Current Project

1. Estimation of forage quantity and nutritive value using UAV- and ground- based sensors in pasture
2. Adoption of unmanned aerial system (UAS)-based imaging system in soybean breeding program
