PhD position on ‘Laser scatter imaging for plant stress detection in greenhouse crops'

The MeBioS research unit performs groundbreaking research on innovative sensor technologies and the associated data analysis methods to understand and control the quality of (mainly) biological products and processes, as well as applications in precision agriculture. Within its Biophotonics group, sensor research focusses on optical systems in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, including Vis/NIR spectroscopy, THz spectroscopy and imaging, hyperspectral imaging, thermography and smart cameras. The associated data research involves the optimal design of experiments, chemometrics, process monitoring and control, as well as artificial intelligence and deep learning.

Project

Protected cultivation of vegetables in greenhouses is an agricultural system characterized by a high yield per m². To achieve this, it requires intensive inputs in terms of labor, energy, production means and capital. Therefore, considerable efforts are being made to ...
