Faculty & Staff
Graduate students
Assist CEA microbial projects as well as study the effects that microbes may have on plant circadian clock function.
Current Project: Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) for Controlled Environment Agriculture.
Current Project: Dynamic integrated modeling for controlled environment agriculture: method and field testing
The study addresses the need for integrated modeling tools to optimize the design and operation of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) facilities by dynamically integrating key components like energy, evapotranspiration (ET), and crop growth.
Current Project: Commercial Building Indoor Greenery Systems' Effects on Thermal Environment and Occupant Comfort under Climate Change
Emma is a PhD student researching the effects of indoor living walls on building energy use and thermal comfort across different U.S. climate zones. His work explores the cooling benefits of living walls through evapotranspiration and their potential to reduce energy consumption in future climate conditions, providing a sustainable solution to mitigate rising temperatures.
Current Project: Model Predictive Control for Energy-Efficient Indoor Agriculture
