Biography

Applying engineering technologies to agriculture, is something that Troy has had a passion for, since he commenced work with the Queensland Department of Primary Industries (DPI) in 1987.

Since this time, he has worked as a research engineer and has gained extensive applied research experience in such diverse areas as: • agricultural machinery • animal and plant biosecurity

• precision agriculture • remote sensing

• controlled traffic farming • native grass seed harvesting

• grain storage • horticultural mechanisation

• intensive animal industries • biomass reuse

• unmanned aerial vehicles • technology innovation

Troy has been working at the Centre for Agricultural Engineering (a research centre of the University of Southern Queensland (USQ)) since 2009, where he has been primarily focusing on yield monitoring and precision agriculture applications for the Australian sugar industry. He has also been developing innovative market entry solutions to precision spot spraying and providing technologies to monitor crops at a very fine spatial and temporal scale, along with using his extensive agricultural experience to provide valuable post graduate student supervision. His current position is Associate Professor and Principal Research Fellow (Precision Agriculture) at the University of Southern Queensland.
