🇺🇸 Feb 2025 | Joined University of Florida Fruit Phenomics Team of Blueberry Breeding Lab as Postdoctoral Associate 🚀

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined the University of Florida’s Fruit Phenomics Team of the Blueberry Breeding Lab as a Postdoctoral Associate. I will be working alongside Prof. Patricio Munoz Del Valle Muñoz and Dr. Bruno Leme in Gainesville, FL, USA.

My research will focus on projects such as visual place recognition, multi-object tracking, and fruit segmentation for agricultural robotics. By leveraging computer vision and deep learning, we aim to identify and count blueberries, providing valuable yield data. This technology reduces the need for manual counting and helps breeders compare genotypes more efficiently, ultimately improving breeding decisions for Florida farmers.

Automation and machine learning are enhancing the efficiency and scalability of developing high-yielding blueberry cultivars.
