Davide Cammarano, Keynote Speaker

Professor, Department of Agroecology - Climate and Water at Aarhus University

Speaker

My scientific expertise includes precision agriculture, agronomy, application and development of crop models, remote sensing, crop and soil sciences, climate change and climate forecasts in agriculture, understanding the role of agriculture in local and global food safety and security.

I have graduated in Agricultural Science and Technology from the University of Basilicata (Italy) with honors (cum laude) on a 5-years degree. During my PhD at the University of Melbourne (Australia) I have worked on spatially integrating crop simulation model and remote sensing for nitrogen management on wheat. After the PhD I worked at Queensland University of Technology (Institute for Sustainable Resources) on measuring greenhouse gas emissions from cotton and wheat; and as Postdocotoral Associate at the University of Florida (USA) working on the impacts of climate change on agriculture and how to model it. After this, I was offered a position as Research Scientist (Principal Investigator) at the James Hutton Institute (Dundee, U.K.) working in precision agriculture and modelling the impacts of climate change in agriculture. From Jan 2020 to Jan 2022, I was an as Associate Professor in Digital Agriculture at the Department of Agronomy, Purdue University. Now I am a Professor in Environmental Crop Science at Aarhus University, Department of Agroecology.

I have worked with scientists from different disciplines and from institutions over the world on topics like precision agriculture, crop modeling and climate change impacts in agriculture.

From 2009 to 2022 I have been proactive in writing many publications, book chapters, and a book as co-Editor and I am Chief Editor of Precision Agriculture, Associate Editor of Italian Journal of Agronomy and on the Editorial Board of the European Journal of Agronomy and Crop and Pasture Science.
