Abstract: Forests provide biodiversity, ecosystem, and economic services. Information on individual trees is important for understanding forest ecosystems but obtaining individual-level data at broad scales is challenging due to the costs and logistics of data collection. While advances in remote sensing techniques allow surveys of individual trees at unprecedented extents, there remain technical challenges in […]

Congratulations to our labmates: Susan K. Meerdink, James Bocinsky, Alina Zare, Nick Kroeger, Connor H. McCurley, Daniel Shats and Paul D.

Abstract: Fresh fruit and vegetables are invaluable for human health; however, their quality often deteriorates before reaching consumers due to ongoing biochemical processes and compositional changes. We currently lack any objective indices which indicate the freshness of fruit or vegetables resulting in limited capacity to improve product quality eventually leading to food loss and waste. […]

Another semester is wrapping up here at UF!   While we are excited for a break, we are also taking some time to reflect an a very… well, different… semester.  During this crazy and unprecedented time, we are so proud of all our graduates, undergraduates, faculty, staff and administration for teaming up and making the semester […]

Congratulations to our labmate, Sarah Walker, for accepting an internship at Ultimate Software! Sarah will be working on the data science team to develop natural language processing tools for human sentiment analysis. Great job, Sarah!
