Prof. Yu researches in the interdisciplinary area of precision agriculture, focusing on plant-environment interactions and the control of multiple scales through the integration of range imaging, sensing, statistical modeling, and computational approaches. His primary focus is on developing and utilizing proximal remote sensing methods to quantify the spatiotemporal variability of plant growth and health, thereby facilitating precise smart crop management. This research aims to improve resource use efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of agricultural practices. Dr. Yu studied Agricultural Environmental Sciences at China Agricultural University (CAU), Beijing, and received his doctorate in Physical Geography from the University of Cologne in 2014. He conducted postdoctoral research at ETH Zurich and KU Leuven. In 2019, he was appointed as an associate professor in crop science at CAU, and in 2020, he took on a professorship in Precision Agriculture at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
