Some things about me
I have been with the University of Florida since 1982 and currently serve as Director of the Office of Academic Technology. I'm a tenured professor of Agricultural and Biological Engineering. My current responsibilites are to provide leadership and direction to ensure quality IT services for students, faculty and staff that relate to the teaching, research, and the engagement mission of the University of Florida.
- Produced numerous publications related to computer applications in
agriculture and water management. See the Recent Software list below
for my latest software.
- Received several awards, including ASAE Fellow, the USDA Outstanding
Service Award, Outstanding Leadership Award from the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE), Young Engineer of the Year from the
Florida Section of ASAE, Florida Davis Productivity Award from the Florida
Tax Watch Foundation, and Teacher of the Year from the Tecnológico
de Monterrey Student Association.
- Chaired or co-chaired the International Conference on Computers in
Agriculture since 1982.
- Consulting for World Bank, USAID and other public and private institutions in Latin America, Asia and Europe.
