James Krogmeier is an Associate Dean for Facilities and Planning and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He holds affiliations across multiple departments including Agricultural & Biological Engineering, Civil and Construction Engineering, and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His administrative roles include membership in the Engineering Leadership Team, Engineering Cabinet, Space Planning and Allocation Committee, CoE Safety Committee, and Facilities Committee. His research focuses on interdisciplinary engineering challenges at the intersection of wireless communications, precision agriculture, and infrastructure monitoring. Key areas include IoT-enabled agricultural systems, pavement integrity assessment using radar data, and waveform design for advanced communication systems. He has contributed to projects like Meta Ag (automated agricultural metadata collection) and OATSMobile (underground sensor data hubs). His work integrates field data from telematics, GPS, and sensor networks to improve decision-making in agriculture and transportation. Recent trends in his publications show strong emphasis on practical applications of machine learning in infrastructure monitoring, rural IoT connectivity, and autonomous systems in farming. While no formal awards are listed, his extensive list of publications reflects sustained impact in his fields. His advising record shows no listed students, though collaborations with industry partners (e.g., on snowplow tracking systems) suggest applied research focus. He leads development of tools like the Pavement Patching Management software and ISOBlue HD agricultural data platforms. Labs/teams: Active involvement in Purdue's agricultural IoT initiatives, transportation infrastructure research groups, and wireless communication laboratories. His work bridges academia and practical applications through partnerships with departments across multiple engineering disciplines.
