About Me
I am passionate about machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Currently, I am working on a project that leverages active thermography to assess grape bud mortality, applying statistical tests, conventional machine learning models, LSTM networks, and ViViT architectures for model analysis. I am also deeply interested in advancements in generative AI.
The development of the robot is critical as managing such diseases as powdery and downy mildews in vineyards is the top concern for grape growers and viticulturists.
An autonomous robot – a base on wheels fitted with computer vision technology that snaps images of grapevines in near real-time – rolls down a long row of plants in a vineyard at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva, New York.
Next spring, a small army of Cornell-developed PhytoPatholoBots (PPB) will be deployed to four grape breeding programs across the U.S. on a mission to guide the global grape and wine industry into the 21st century.
Nick makes online mapping software through his business, Orbitist LLC.
