Ertai Liu
Ph.D. Student
Biological and Environmental Engineering
I graduated from UW-Madison with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 2018. I joined the lab as a Ph.D. student in 2020 after 2 years of study for M.S. in Mechanical Engineering degree at Cornell. I’m currently interested in developing general robotic platform for crop management. My work involves robotic perception, computer vision, machine learning, automated system design, control theory and vineyard management.
Tian Qiu
Ph.D. Student
Electrical and Computer Engineering
I work on the intersection of computer vision/graphics and agriculture, especially 2D/3D computer vision, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), computer graphics, VR/AR technologies. Currently, I am developing vision-based plant disease quantification systems and making them interpretable and reliable and high-throughput crop loading estimation systems and integrating them into wearable devices through VR/AR technologies.

Dominik Starzmann
Research Intern
I have a Bachelor and Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from University of Stuttgart, Germany. During my masters studies I specialized in Space Flight Technology and Space Utilization as well as in the Design and Construction of Aerospace Vehicles. As part of my masters thesis I designed a multispectral camera system for small satellites which is specialized in the detection of diseases of sugar beets. I also conducted field measurements with a field spectrometer to determine the spectral channels needed to detect these diseases.
