Cherie Kagan, Stephen J. Angello Professor in Penn Engineering’s departments of electrical and systems engineering and materials science and engineering, is the IoT4Ag Center’s director and principal investigator. She will lead a team of more than two dozen researchers across Penn Engineering, Purdue University, University of California Merced, and the University of Florida.
“We need new technology to meet the challenges of a world with a growing population and changing climate,” Dr. Kagan said. “We simply need to produce more crops for every drop of water or Joule of energy we’re currently using to realize a food, energy and water-secure future.”
The IoT4Ag Center is divided into three integrated thrusts, with teams of researchers working on sensing, communication/energy, and response technologies. |
