We Are Currently Moving to Federal University of Sergipe

We are currently in the process of relocating our research group to the Federal University of Sergipe. As a result, the information on this website is being updated and may not fully reflect our current status. Thank you for your understanding during this transition

Joint Research Project
in
AgriPhotonics
(Binding Industry & Academia)

Agriphotonics has already drastically improved precision agriculture. However, conventional sensors are still used for their performance and low cost. Replacing conventional sensors with photonic ones requires a better understanding of acquiring physical parameters in the real world (off-lab). Therefore, we have developed a low-cost DAQ system using conventional sensors to measure physical parameters in the subsoil of sugar cane crops. The main goal is to substitute traditional sensors with photonic devices or techniques to obtain the same information. Finally, this joint research project is a perfect example of how to bind industry and academia.

Controlling Whitefly Pest With Laser

Whitefly Bemisia tabaci is among the most important agricultural pests in the world and one of the world’s top 10 most invasive insect pests. We have published a paper proposing a solution to control this pest using a laser — the first successful case of our collaboration with EMBRAPA.
