The Plant Phenomics Lab at the University of Florida's IFAS Gulf Coast Research and Education Center (GCREC) is looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student to join our team starting Spring 2027! 📢 linkedin.com/posts/ugcPost-7…
As many drones facing U.S. restrictions, our team published two resources for the ag UAV community:

Impressed by how powerful the latest vision foundation models are for plant segmentation - even when canopies overlap! However, image resolution remains critical for achieving quality segmentation results.

Thought our training was slow, getting just 3 epochs in 2 hours with 3 L4s on 9K+ 4K images.
Swapping to 1xB200. 300+ epochs in 10 hours! 🚀
Huge reminder, choosing the right GPU matters more than you think. Training vs. inference makes all the difference.
Groundbreaking on Nov. 7th, 2025. Combining AI and agriculture; new AI building is coming to Tampa Bay baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2…

Congrats to UF AI Scholar William Haxton for showcasing his digital twin project at the Undergrad Research Symposium! From joining my lab 3 years ago to becoming a standout engineer - well done, Will!
We’re simulating our mechanical module designed to cut 3D-replicated strawberry runners - a cost-effective way to refine our prototype before field testing. This #DigitalTwin approach accelerates design evaluation, reduces costs, and saves plants! #AgTech #Strawberry #Simulation
A nice example of Digital Twin application. youtu.be/lXuAf8ly6hs?si=I_Hl… – at Florida, USA
If you want to learn drone phenotyping and genomic selection modeling, welcome to join this hands-on workshop at UF GCREC in April. forms.gle/27DZbyVj7fUULCF18 – at Bloomingdale, FL
🚀 Our latest publication on dimensional trait measurement and weight prediction of northern quahogs is now online! 🦪📊 doi.org/10.1016/j.atech.2025…
A big thank you to the LIFT AI Program by UF IFAS Research for the support! #AI #Aquaculture #Research #UFIFAS
The priciest strawberry (unit price, compared with organic and pineberry) in Publix FL. Not sure about the variety, but tastes really good. – at Bloomingdale, FL
Found a geologic map of Florida online. It is not as flat as I imagined. "The initial formation of land mass occurred near northwest Africa around 530 million years ago through a combination of volcanic activity and marine sediment deposition." – at Bloomingdale, FL
Leveraging drone imaging and AI to replace manual counting for strawberry yield estimation with fast and accurate predictions. 🍓✨ #AgTech #AI #PrecisionFarming
The Phenomics Lab is leveraging digital twin technology to simulate plant dynamics for advanced mechanical design.@UfBreeding

This week's York Lecture is all about the marriage of art and science.
In harmony with this theme, we'll kick off an art competition for @UFCALS and @UFCOTA students after the presentation.
