Dr. Komal Kumari, an alumna of LSGI, received the Best Researcher Award 2024 at the “International Research Awards on Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems”
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Komal Kumari, an alumna of LSGI, has been honoured with the Best Researcher Award 2024 at the “International Research Awards on Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems”. This prestigious award recognises the exceptional research accomplishments and contributions of scientists, innovators, and experimenters in the field of Agriculture.
Dr. Komal Kumari completed her PhD degree in 2022 under the supervision of Prof. John Wenzhong SHI, Chair Professor of Geographical Information Science and Remote Sensing at LSGI and the Director of the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Smart Cities Research Institute of PolyU.
Her project focuses on agriculture monitoring for sustainable development using remote sensing. It highlights the utilization of high-resolution Sentinel-2 data, along with a combination of various types of secondary data, in a Random Forest (RF) regression model during different phases of the crop growing season. This approach aims to enhance the accuracy of rice yield prediction and advance our understanding of precision agricultural systems.
We extend our congratulations to Dr. Komal Kumari on her remarkable achievement!
