New Agronomics is a startup helping land owners, farms and growers to produce better crops and maintain a strong environmental compliance position.We deliver an exceptional value through science based decisions, technology innovations and client-centric approach.We utilize deep learning methods for regression and classification of time series data on the water quality of the New York Harbor, resulting in presentation at the national meetings.We presented on the state of the water quality of the New York Harbor at the national meetings (W3170, American Geophysical Union).We conduct stormwater systems consulting projects for municipalities aimed at reduction of illicit discharge and pollutants in surface waters.We conduct soil health assessment which drew to date over $5,000 of dedicated funding from the New York State for the estuaries program.

Flushing, Ny, Us

Developed algorithms and applied machine learning approaches for image and time series data on surface water quality resulting in more efficient response to combined sewer overflow events.Collaborated with engineers and managers on assessment and experimental design of water quality programs resulting in development of the New York State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.Innovated, developed and implemented GIS systems with overall budget over $5mln.

Pullman/Spokane/Tri-Cities/Vancouver/Everett/Global, Washington, Us

Deployed remote sensing infrastructure for real time monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions and developed software for spatiotemporal statistical analysis of the data.Designed and managed a regional project on climate adaptation in agroecosystems, resulting in presenting strategies at 10+ international conferences, and 7 publications.Hired and mentored 6 junior engineers and analysts and built cross-functional partnerships with 20+ colleagues across divisions on instrumentation, automated monitoring (Licor, Los Gatos, Picarro, Teledyne) and modeling (SAS, Matlab, Igor, R) data on greenhouse gas emissions from agroecosystems (time series, big data, AI).Procured continued funding for the program ($15,000,000) through delivering demonstratable value to funding organization, managed resources by ordering $2,000,000 of analytical equipment and planning 50+ business trips.Conducted educational extension work on ecosystem restoration and climate adaptation.
