Precision Water Management

Precision Water Management

Uday Bhanu Prakash Vaddevolu

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Agricultural and Biological Engineering

Research focus: "Florida Agriculture Soil Moisture Sensor Network" aiming to promote irrigation Best Management Practices (BMPs) to enhance water use efficiency.

Education: Ph.D. from North Dakota State University (dissertation on automatic soil water potential sensor-based irrigation systems) ; M.Sc. in Agricultural Engineering from Kerala Agricultural University, India (thesis on regional groundwater resource modeling)

Uday's ongoing research is “Florida Agriculture Soil Moisture Sensor Network”. The primary objective of his work is to promote the irrigation Best Management Practices (BMPs) to increase the water use efficiency. Uday graduated with his bachelor's degree in Agricultural Engineering from Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, India, master’s degree (thesis: Regional groundwater resource modeling using MODFLOW – a case study) in Agricultural Engineering from Kerala Agricultural University, India, and Ph.D. from North Dakota State University (Dissertation: Automatic soil water potential sensor-based irrigation system for tomato and watermelon production). Uday aspires to transition into a faculty role, where he can collaboratively engage with stakeholders to translate research discoveries into practical applications, thereby fostering a positive and meaningful impact.
