Sami Khanal's research applies remote sensing, drone (UAS) imagery, and machine learning/AI tools to agricultural and environmental problems, such as estimating crop biomass, monitoring plant disease, and assessing land and water resource tradeoffs. A parallel line of work examines converting animal manure into hydrochar and biochar for nutrient recovery, greenhouse gas mitigation, and carbon storage in farming systems. This combination gives students exposure to both field/sensor-based data collection and waste-to-resource environmental engineering.
