Ph.D. Candidate Tiebiao Zhao gave an invited talk at "Spray Safe" Yolo, CA and DRONEMATH

February 9, 2015

Ph.D. Candidate Tiebiao Zhao gave an invited talk at "Spray Safe" event at Yolo, CA on Feb. 5th, 2015. His talk title as "Spraying Drones and Optimal Integrated Pest Management". (The final agenda PDF). There were around 200 people in the audience, an excellent community outreach effort!

We believe that "spraying drones" are not as matured as "remote-sensing drones" not only in technilogical aspect but also in federal rule compliance aspect. This is a perfect time for us to do good research. We call this DRONEMATH. Our sample DRONEMATH publications are:
