My PhD topic is about rice health assessment using remote sensing, particularly focusing on rice bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease. I use field hyperspectral measurements, drone imagery and satellite imagery to detect BLB on different spatial scales. I aim to diagnose rice disease and guide management practices based on multi-source remote sensing and other relevant agricultural information.
