I am Yassir, a researcher specializing in Agricultural Remote Sensing, currently part of a unique doctoral training partnership between the University of Nottingham and The University of Adelaide. This collaborative program allows me to split my research time between these two esteemed institutions, providing a broad and diverse academic experience.

My research expertise lies in the application of remote sensing technology and machine learning techniques to agriculture, with a particular focus on broadacre and horticultural crops. My work primarily revolves around monitoring crop growth and development, and predicting crop yield and quality. I have a special interest in groundnut and grapevine crops, and my research spans across various geographical locations including Malaysia, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The foundation of my interest in remote sensing and geospatial analysis was laid during my undergraduate studies at the University of Mauritius. There, I conducted significant research on mangrove forest mapping using geospatial techniques. This early exploration into the intersection of environmental monitoring and sustainable management has profoundly shaped my approach to research and continues to inform my objectives.

As an emerging leader in agricultural remote sensing, my commitment extends beyond academic research. I am dedicated to bridging the gap between advanced technological research and its practical application in agriculture. My work not only contributes to the scientific community but also has a tangible impact on farming practices, aiding in the development of more efficient and sustainable agricultural systems globally.

Experienced in research with 120 hours of training from the University of Adelaide and 60 hours from the University of Nottingham. Proficient in Python, R, and MATLAB. Skilled in data analysis, machine learning, deep learning, geospatial analysis with ArcGIS and QGIS, and image processing using ERDAS, ENVI, Agisoft, Pix4D, and Photogrammetry. Licensed for UAV operation.
