CURRENT RESEARCH |
The focus of James’ research is to develop an
integrated wireless network of spatially-distributed
micrometeorological, soil water, and other types of in-field sensors
across a field for automated, real-time irrigation scheduling techniques
for self-propelled center pivot water application systems. The specific
goals of this research are to predict and compare measured crop water
use with both well-established techniques and in-field sensor-based
measurement systems for use in computerized site-specific, real-time
crop water management control systems and develop criteria for the
optimal site-specific configurations and locations of various
spatially-distributed sensor systems.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE |
Prior to joining the USDA-Agricultural
Research Service in 2005, James was a Senior Engineer at John Deere
where his research focused on optical sensing of the reflectance of
plant canopies for site-specific crop management by assessing crop
nutrient stress. He developed a real-time multi-spectral imaging system
to predict plant nutrient status based on leaf reflectance. He also
worked as a System Integration Engineer in field robotics and autonomous
navigation projects to develop unmanned vehicles for lawn and turf
applications. His Ph.D. work was dedicated to the development of a
multi-spectral image sensor to assess nitrogen stress of corn crop and
conducted in cooperation with Case Corporation, where he formulated
corrections for robust reflectance response under varying natural
ambient illumination.
