Eli Buckner

Eli Buckner is a Lecturer at North Carolina State University with a PhD in Electrical Engineering. His interdisciplinary research bridges computer vision and plant sciences, developing computational tools for biological image analysis.

Buckner's BioVision Tracker software enables automated quantification of gene expression patterns in plant roots, facilitating high-throughput phenotyping. His methodology combines computer vision algorithms with statistical modeling to analyze biological systems under stress conditions.

He received the GAANN Fellowship in Molecular Biotechnology (2017) recognizing his contributions to computational biology tools. Current work continues to develop machine learning approaches for multi-scale analysis in plant sciences.
