Seminar Title

"Decoding Plant Stress: From Pixels to Biological Insights"

Dr. Phuong Dao is a remote sensing and geospatial scientist and plant ecologist whose research seeks to understand how plants respond to biotic and abiotic stress across scales, from leaves to landscapes. His work integrates remote sensing, biochemical measurements, biological modeling, and machine learning to translate spectral observations into biological insights. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining UT Austin, he was an Assistant Professor at Colorado State University and a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Wisconsin?Madison and the NSF ASCEND Biology Integration Institute.
