Episode 132: Next-Gen Plant Sensors with Dr. Qingshan Wei

This week, FarmBits hosts Katie Bathke and Victor Ferreira welcome Dr. Qingshan Wei from North Carolina State University to discuss his efforts in innovative plant sensor design. Dr. Wei is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering where his research focuses on developing next-generation field deployable molecular imaging, sensing, and diagnostic tools for plants and humans. Listen here as we dive into varying sensor technology that is transforming traditional diagnostic tests to rapid field detection and plant health monitoring for a variety of abiotic and biotic stressors. Be sure to tune in to this exploratory episode to learn more about the cutting edge sensor technology within agricultural pest management.
