Dr. Yeyin Shi is currently an associate professor of agricultural intelligence in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her research and teaching program aims to use advanced sensing and information technology as well as data analytics to automate and improve the decision making and application processes in agricultural production and natural resource management. A major platform that Dr. Shi has been extensively working on is the unmanned aircraft systems (or drones). She and her group have developed data analytics with state-of-the-art computer vision and machine and deep learning techniques to monitor vegetation growth, biomass, and abiotic and biotic stresses, or predict yield. They also go beyond sensing but incorporate sensing and actuation for intelligent aerial applications. Dr. Shi’s research has been mainly funded by federal and state agencies. Dr. Shi is also passionate about college education and has been part of the thrust in the development of precision and digital agriculture curriculums. She teaches Site-Specific Crop Management (Precision Agriculture), Technologies and Techniques in Digital Agriculture, and Aerial Imagery Processing and Analysis to undergraduate and graduate students. Dr. Shi received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees both from Oklahoma State University and worked as postdoctoral researchers at the Texas A&M University and the University of Florida prior to join in UNL.
