Assistant Professor
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Dr. Zhou Zhang is currently an assistant professor in Biological Systems Engineering in the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She obtained a Ph.D. degree in 2017 in Civil Engineering, at Purdue University and was postdoctoral scholar at University of California, Davis. Her research focuses on improving the sustainability aspects of agriculture, using digital agricultural techniques. Specifically, she is interested in creating systems that make more efficient use of farm inputs, leading to improved agricultural productivity and environmental quality. To accomplish this, she is creating advances in remote sensing techniques to permit data acquisition from multi-sensors across multi-platforms, and then using data science techniques to analyze the “big data” and ultimately helping producers with decision-making tools, such as crop mapping, automated phenotyping and yield prediction.
