SUDHIR PAYARE
M.Sc. Student (Remote Sensing)
University of Goergia, Athens, GA
Passionate Engineer, I've transformed from battling college robots to soaring in the world of Aerial Robotics, now focusing on UAVs for Agriculture and Forestry. I have a deep interest in the intersection of mechanical engineering, computer engineering, and robotics, and I am constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. With a focus on innovation and cutting-edge technology, I am committed to delivering the highest quality products and services.
Precision Forestry Lab
I am currently employed as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Georgia, specializing in remote sensing. In this capacity, I employ state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) featuring advanced LiDAR and hyperspectral remote sensing sensors. My primary focus is on precision agriculture research, where I analyze crop health and conduct disease screening. Utilizing image processing, GIS and statistical analysis methods, I work towards enhancing crop health and optimizing overall agricultural outcomes.
Mahyco Private Limited
I had the privilege of worked as an Engineer in the Research and Development division at Phenomics, specializing in plant research. During my tenure, I engaged in troubleshooting activities using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and applied Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques, specifically through aerial photogrammetry. This involvement allowed me to meticulously analyze plant health, contributing significantly to hybrid seed research endeavors.
