Vito Aurelio Cerasola

Research fellow at the University of Bologna, he conducts his researches in precision agriculture and nutrition modeling in horticultural crops. He received his Ph.D. from the same university with a thesis entitled “Dynamic nitrogen fertigation with reflectance sensors: exploration of statistical modeling approaches to optimize N fertilization in processing tomato”. Research interests are in the methods of early detection of nutritional deficiencies using optical reflectance sensors (multispectral and hyperspectral) to guide dynamic fertilization in horticultural crops, irrigation in horticultural crops, urban agriculture, and indoor farming.
