Tech-Driven Agriculture for a Sustainable Future
Advancing Agriculture with AI
About Us
At CyberAg+SynBio Lab, we envision a future where agriculture is fully sustainable, climate-resilient, and farmer-focused. Our research combines cutting-edge technologies like AI, synthetic biology, and systems modeling to improve crop resilience, food security, and profitability for farmers and rural communities.
Led by experts with experience across academia, industry, and entrepreneurship—including leadership roles at Google[X] and UIUC—our team focuses on breaking down barriers to technology adoption in agriculture. By treating agricultural systems as complex, adaptive ecosystems, we develop AI-driven solutions that help farmers overcome economic challenges, close educational gaps, and adopt innovative practices.
Together, we’re building smarter farms and a more sustainable future.
What We Do
Research & Innovation
We develop AI models, synthetic biology solutions, and systems modeling to advance sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture. Our research focuses on improving crop performance, soil health, and farming profitability.
Education & Outreach
We provide workshops, training, and open-access resources to empower farmers, students, and agricultural professionals. Our programs bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world farming practices.
Community & Farmer Support
We collaborate with farmers through field trials, pilot projects, and technical support to implement data-driven solutions. Our partnerships ensure that innovations reach and benefit smallholder farms and rural communities.
