2024 Wernsman Seminar

October 23 | 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm EDT

2024 Wernsman Seminar speaker – Dr. Steven B Mirsky from the USDA ARS in Beltsville Maryland.
Among his accomplishments, Dr. Mirsky is a leading researcher on precision and sustainable field crop production system techniques and has also developed technology transfer pathways to operationalize these approaches into practice for farmers. Dr. Mirsky accomplished these goals through longitudinal and spatial studies at his research station and through leading and collaborating on regional, national, and global teams. He has been instrumental in leading a technology team that designs and builds the tools (e.g., computer vision and learning systems for monitoring climate, plants, and soils), cyberinfrastructure (i.e., web applications and structured databases), and communities of practice necessary for creating real-time communication, data and protocol standards, and automated data acquisition, aggregation, analytics, and visualization systems. Dr. Mirsky obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. from Penn State University in soil science and Agronomy/Crop Science respectively.
