Kwabena Nketia is an Assistant Professor in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at the University of Saskatchewan. His research program is aligned with AgBio's strategic priorities focusing on sustainability and digital agriculture. He works on developing innovative precision solutions through the integration of advanced technologies to enhance sustainability, resilience, productivity, and profitability in dryland cropping systems, particularly those increasingly managed by digital agriculture technologies. Dr. Nketia's research leverages artificial intelligence, autonomous sensing technologies, and big data analytics, alongside spatio-temporal statistical modeling, remote sensing, and GIS-based methodologies. A key focus of his work is unraveling the complexities of the soil-plant-climate continuum across multiple spatial and temporal scales to optimize resource use efficiency and mitigate environmental impacts. His program also seeks to advance predictive agronomy, improve soil water stewardship, and refine precision management strategies. Nketia is committed to building capacity among the next generation of agricultural scientists and practitioners, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to leverage digital tools for sustainable data-driven decision-making, thereby empowering producers with actionable, high-resolution agronomic intelligence.
Standard university-wide graduate requirements apply to most arts and science departments unless otherwise specified by the program.
