S8 Bonus: Pioneering Computational Entomology: Converting Wingbeat Light Disruptions Into Real-Time Pest Telemetry with Dr. Eamonn Keogh, Co-Founder of FarmSense
Jun 15, 2023 · Season 8 · 18 min
Pest detection on plants - using sound
Dr. Eamonn Keogh is a globally renowned expert in data mining, machine learning, and information retrieval. He is pioneering the field of computational entomology. Outside of tech, he is originally from Dublin, Ireland, but came to California in the 80's. He misses his family in Ireland, but he loves the cuisine in California, specifically Mexican food. I made sure to invite him to Texas though, cause we have great Mexican food.
A perk of Dr. Keogh's job as a professor, he gets to play with toys (in his words). He picked up a science toy one day and decided to see if he could pick up sound from plant insects. When it worked, he decided to take it to the next level.
This is the creation story of FarmSense.
