Dr. Sindhuja Sankaran Phenomics Lab

Welcome!

Dr. Sankaran works in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering with a research emphasis in Agricultural Automation Engineering. Her research focus is on sensor technologies for crop phenotype monitoring to support plant breeding, crop plant research, and precision agriculture applications. Her work involves development and integration of opto-electronic, biological, and chemical sensor technologies for non-invasive, rapid, continuous monitoring of plant responses to environment, abiotic and biotic stressors, and other applications.

Research Interests

  • Automated system development for agricultural applications.
  • Proximal and remote sensing (unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite) technologies for phenomics applications.
  • Biomarkers-based sensing techniques.

  • AgAID Digital AgAthOn 2023 – Hackathon

    February 2, 2023 | WSU Insider

    Photo of AgAID Digital AgAthOn 2023Almost 200 students from around the U.S. had the chance to work on two challenges for the agricultural industry as part of the NSF/USDA-NIFA-funded AgAID Institute’s Digital Agathon. The event was held on the Washington State University Pullman campus as well as in Corvallis, Oregon and Merced, California.

    A huge thanks goes to  Drs. Kirti Rajagopalan and Sandhuja Sankaran for their role in this event (organizing, logistics, training, mentoring, and judging). Congratulations to all our BSE students across … » More …
