BBE assistant professor Zhenong Jin received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for his project: AI-enabled Integrated Nutrient, Streamflow, and Parcel sImulation for Resilient agroEcosystems (INSPIRE): a framework for climate-smart crop production and cleaner water.
NSF CAREER Awards recognize early career professionals with promising researchers who have the potential to serve as academic role models and lead their respective fields. These awards are among the most prestigious in the nation for up-and-coming faculty. Many recipients go on to receive large grants from government agencies.
Jin’s Digital Agriculture Group work integrates ecology, computational modeling, remote sensing, and machine learning approaches to advance the science that guides sustainable agricultural management, and to develop tools that can help farmers and regulators apply this science more effectively.
Congratulations to Jin on this accomplishment!
