Undergraduate Researcher: Ag Data Science
Washington State University has an undergraduate research experience project (similar to NSF REU) on ag data science. More details on the project, sample program schedules, and student projects can be found at: https://labs.wsu.edu/sankaran-phenomics/undergrad-research-exp/. Support includes stipend, housing, and travel.
The research area is a new transdisciplinary field of research that is a critical interface between plant biology, engineering, and data sciences. This research experience will encompass sensor development, different proximal and remote sensing technologies, data processing, and data analysis associated with agricultural applications. Some of the skills developed in this research experience (image processing, data processing, genomics/phenomics, machine learning, etc.) are relevant to medical and other biological applications.
