Dr. Dorea has been working extensively on the development of top-notch applications of artificial intelligence to optimize farm management decisions and improve animal nutrition and health. Dr. Dorea’s research focuses on the development of high-throughput phenotyping technologies, such as: (1) computer vision systems to improve health and growth development of beef and dairy cattle; (2) automated systems to monitor animal behavior; (3) predictive modeling using infrared spectroscopy data, and (4) natural language processing to automate data collection in agricultural systems. Such innovative research program has been extremely well accepted by the livestock industry and scientific community and has also attracted intramural and extramural funding (USDA AFRI-NIFA).
