Our lab is looking for motivated graduate students who are interested in natural and managed ecosystems using advanced AI and sensing techniques (for both spring and fall semesters). Please email me (pfu@agcenter.lsu.edu) your research/personal statement, CV, transcripts, Language Test Scores (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS), and GRE scores (if any).

For prospective visiting scholars and postdocs, please send your research plan and CV. We are looking forward to host you in our lab to work on both natural and managed ecosystems. Please email me (pfu@agcenter.lsu.edu) for further discussion and opportunities.
