By
Dr. Peter Waller: My focus at the University of
Arizona is on development of application and management systems for water
and chemical application to soils and plants. Monitoring, evaluating, and
controlling soil water content and chemical concentration within
agricultural and landscape plant systems is a challenge that requires
creative solutions. The entire system as well as interactions with other
systems must be considered when designing an application or management
system. The engineered solution should include sensors, controls, decision
algorithms, and application systems.
My job description includes
both teaching (40%) and research (60%), and I have made significant
efforts in both research and teaching. I was the PI on nearly $1,000,000
in funded grants. Nearly all of the grants have resulted in significant
engineering solutions that save water and chemicals and reduce off-target
contamination.
