Jasmeet Judge
Director, Center for Remote Sensing
Dr. Judge is a professor in the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) and director of the Center for Remote Sensing (CRS). Her research focuses on using remote sensing data to improve predictions of agricultural hydrology, mainly using microwave wavelengths. Along with conducting intensive field experiments, her research includes development of remote sensing, and AI algorithms to understand soil and crop conditions at various spatial scales. This includes assessing soil moisture, crop water content, growth, and yield. Her work seeks to provide environmental agencies and farmers with essential information for enhancing crop productivity, and mitigating the impacts of water stress in agriculture. She earned her bachelor’s degree in physics from Stillman College and holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and atmospheric, oceanic, and space sciences from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
