• Conducted research specializing in precision agriculture and data management • Research efforts included development of a Matlab-based diagnostic tool generating improved resolution as-applied sprayer maps and quantified error assessment reports. The project goal was to improve operator feedback from chemical application operations communicate best management practices to operators for reducing errors. • Developed sensor instrumentation and data collection system to be deployed on agricultural sprayer units to record real-time sprayer performance data• Worked with agricultural vehicle CAN bus networks, identifying and publishing messages across the bus• Extended experience presenting projects and acquiring support from industry leading company • Periodically supervised undergraduate research assistants

• Assisted with biomass research including: biomass sampling, pretreatment of biomass, wet chemistry laboratory analysis of biomass• Developed biomass test procedures and protocols. • Practiced solid modeling (Pro/E and Inventor) through design of laboratory test and prototype field machinery • Developed general shop skills (machine tool operation, welding processes, and part layout and equipment fabrication)• Assisted with precision agriculture research• Design and experimental testing of UAS variable rate cover crop seed dispensing mechanism• Image processing using Agisoft software
