Leonardo is an Assistant Professor in Integrative Precision Agriculture in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at the University of Georgia and has dedicated his career to exploring agronomically sustainable solutions that optimize farm output while minimizing environmental impacts. His research program focuses on proximal and remote sensor-based plant vigor assessment and variable rate fertilizer recommendation, and regional to country-scale environmental characterization of crop response using open-source weather and soils data, machine learning, and statistical programming. He teaches two courses per year related to using statistical programming languages to collect, analyze, and develop precision agriculture workflows; and on data science and statistical programming applications in agriculture that include experimental design and machine learning. He makes all of his teaching materials open-source and freely available on YouTube and GitHub. His career goals are to continue using his expertise, creativity, leadership, and collaborative spirit to grow personally and professionally, help growers to test and adopt new practices and technologies, and help in developing the future generation of agronomists capable of operating in a data-rich, digital agricultural world.
