APSS Lab

🌿 Successful installation of the Phenospex TraiFinder & PlantEye F600 at MSU APSS Lab! Thanks to Jordan Porter (Phenospex), Sachin Cooray & Seth Givens for leading the setup. This system enhances our iPACERS project’s phenotyping capabilities! #Phenospex #precisionAg #AgTech

Our #MAFES scientists are driven to make new discoveries. Congratulations to our scientists and staff for their work to continue our legacy of innovation to improve the livelihoods of Mississippians!

First APSS Lab Meeting of 2025! 🎉 We had a great discussion in our first meeting of the year at the Advanced Plant & Soil Sensing Laboratory. Exciting plans ahead as we continue pushing the boundaries in AI, remote sensing, and soil property estimation. #APSSlab

APSS Lab hosted a spectrometer demonstration, showcasing its applications in biosystems engineering. Hands-on learning in action! #Spectroscopy #STEM #APSSLab

New lab group photo in 2025. Growth in 4 years. Thanks to all the funding agencies #NSF #USDA, amazing collaborators, students, and postdoc!

Two new RAs joined the APSS lab in Spring 2025. Please visit our website to learn more about them.

The APSS lab annual gathering took place at @WijewardaneK's house on October 6, 2024. The fellow students participated in the event as well.

Glad to be here at the #ASABE AIM 2024 with the group @kanthake, Chamika Silva, Suraj Yadav, Yican Yang, Praveen Amarasinghe.

Our work at ABE is featured in the July/August 2024 issue of ASABE Resource Magazine. You can view it here: bt.e-ditionsbyfry.com/publication/?m…

Extremely delighted to announce our proposal: "POTENTIALS", was selected for funding by the USDA-NIFA this year. A collaboration with amazing @xinzhang425 and @MartinsRSensing. See details below. portal.nifa.usda.gov/web/crisprojec…
