Interest Areas

Dr. Adams’s research focuses on the development and deployment of innovative technologies that advance automation and precision in next-generation agricultural systems. His primary interests include applied control systems using model-based software development (MBSD), interdisciplinary dynamic systems modeling (DSM), and data analytics for performance evaluation. He leverages advanced engineering tools, such as MATLAB’s Simscape/Simulink environment, dSPACE platforms, and Vector products, to design, simulate, and validate complex agricultural systems and system interactions. Dr. Adams is also deeply committed to public–private partnerships and actively collaborates with a variety of industry sponsors on research and technology-transfer initiatives. These efforts are driven by a common objective: to deliver innovative, product-integrated solutions that inform agricultural decision-making while enhancing productivity and economic growth across the agricultural sector.

Dr. Adams is a core faculty member of the Digital Ag Innovation Lab. Our mission is to be the preimere thought leader and partner in ag innovation where we are guided by three foundational pillars: Innovate, Educate, Outreach. We are powered by our core values of Passion, Innovation, Collaboration, and Excellence, which shape how we create impact, engage stakeholders, and advance the future of agriculture.
