M.Sc Data science student

International agriculture consultant specialized in goats and sheep

Specializing in the domain of Image-processing, Computer-vision and Deep-learning algorithm development.
Active research in the field of bovine PLF using deep learning algortihms to predict cows feeding and social behaviour.

Having great passion for agricultural robotics. I believe that agricultural robots have the potential to increase food production while reducing world hunger for social good. Other benefits for agricultural robots include reduced pesticides application, reducing water usage, better and productive use of human skills, reduced health risks for human in the field, and much more.
