Water Quality and Environmental Remediation
The projects involve water quality, fate and transport of contaminants in water and soil, and environmental remediation (e.g., PFAS, pesticides, nutrients). The undergraduate students will get ample opportunities to learn the new knowledge on emerging contaminants, their fate and transport behaviors in water systems, and cutting-edge remediation technologies in the subsurface environment.

Development and Application of Water Quality Sensing Platforms
This project involves supporting the development and validation of water quality sensors for field applications. Activities may include collection of data and water samples from field sites, laboratory preparation of standard solutions, laboratory analysis of water samples, improving sensor designs and operation, and developing calibration models. Specific research goals, objectives, and tasks will be decided jointly between the Principal Investigator (faculty member), graduate student, and student.

Experimental Study of Pesticides Residues in Grass Bufferstrips
The study will use a sophisticated laboratory set up to study all the dynamic components (hydrological, soil, vegetation chemical) that control the removal of pesticides by grass buffers and what happens to the pesticide residues in time.

Strawberry Yield Mapping using a Robot and Artificial Intelligence
We are developing a strawberry yield mapping system using a robot and artificial intelligence. Field images will be acquired weekly in a strawberry field at PSREU in Citra, FL. Strawberry flowers and fruit will be counted in the field and in the images. Strawberries will be harvested weekly, and what you harvest is free for you to take
