Dr. Paula M. Shrewsbury is a Professor and Extension Specialist in Ornamental and Turf IPM in the Department of Entomology at the University of Maryland , contributing to the land grant mission through research and outreach. She works at 4112A Plant Sciences Building, College Park, Maryland. Research Focus: Developing sustainable integrated pest management (IPM) programs for ornamental plants, turfgrass, and urban landscapes. Her work emphasizes conservation biological control, natural enemy and pollinator conservation, and invasive species management (e.g., brown marmorated stink bug, emerald ash borer). Teaching: Instructor of BSCI 497—Insect Pests of Ornamentals & Turf , which covers IPM strategies, and BSCI 798—Topic Seminars in Entomology , focusing on sustainable pest management. She co-teaches study abroad courses in Belize and Australia through the UMD College Park Scholars Program. Awards: Recipient of multiple honors including the 2021 James B. Gahan Professorship, 2018 Distinguished Achievement Award in Extension (Entomological Society of America), and 2004 Junior Faculty Award from the University of Maryland. Publications highlight her work on tri-trophic interactions (plant-herbivore-natural enemy), habitat manipulation for beneficial insects, and IPM demonstration programs across nurseries, urban landscapes, and golf courses. Outreach: Develops educational materials (e.g., Weekly Landscape and Nursery IPM Pest Alert Newsletter), trains green industry professionals, and leads citizen science initiatives like Project Stink-be-Gone , engaging community scientists in invasive pest management. Laboratory: Based in the Plant Sciences Building (Room 3168), her lab collaborates with institutions globally and investigates biological control mechanisms, while mentoring undergraduate and graduate researchers.

• Precision Agriculture
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• Agricultural Equipment Calibration
• +۳ مورد دیگر

Gary Roberson is a Professor in the Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering at North Carolina State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. With a publication history spanning over three decades since 1992, he specializes in precision agriculture technology, agricultural equipment calibration, and disaster recovery for farm machinery. His work bridges engineering principles with practical farming applications. Dr. Roberson's research focuses on practical technological applications for agricultural operations. His expertise encompasses precision farming systems, unmanned aerial vehicles for agricultural monitoring, proper calibration of spraying equipment, and recovery methods for flood-damaged farm machinery. He has made significant contributions to crop production guides, particularly for soybeans and peanuts, helping farmers optimize planting and harvesting schedules based on weather patterns and equipment capabilities. His recent publications demonstrate a clear progression toward integrating drone technology with traditional farming practices. He has published extensively on UAV applications in precision agriculture, equipment calibration techniques, and disaster recovery protocols. Rather than focusing on theoretical aspects, his work emphasizes practical implementation that farmers can immediately apply to improve efficiency and reduce losses. Dr. Roberson has collaborated with numerous researchers across agricultural disciplines, contributing to comprehensive guides that serve as essential resources for farmers, extension agents, and agricultural professionals throughout North Carolina. His publications consistently address real-world challenges faced by farmers, from equipment calibration to disaster recovery, making his work highly valued in the agricultural community.

Professor Alexander von Birgelen serves as Deputy Head of Department and holds the Professorship for Plant Use at the Department of Urban Horticulture & Plant Use, Geisenheim University. Since January 1, 2020, he has also served as Vice President Teaching at the university. His research focuses on urban green spaces, particularly vertical greening systems and facade greening. Professor von Birgelen has published extensively on plant selection for living walls, climate adaptation through urban green infrastructure, and sustainable landscape planning. His work bridges practical applications with academic research, emphasizing the role of vegetation in mitigating urban heat islands and managing rainfall in cities. Professor von Birgelen's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on evaluating plant performance in vertical systems, with particular attention to textile-based living wall technologies. His research spans horticultural science, urban ecology, and sustainable design, contributing to the development of more resilient urban environments. He has conducted multi-year field trials examining perennial plant performance in living wall systems under temperate oceanic climate conditions. BIOCHAR-MACADAM URBAN-GREEN SUBSTRATES: Research project (2023-2026) focused on alternative tree substrates for climate adaptation in urban areas As Vice President Teaching, Professor von Birgelen oversees academic programs and educational development at Geisenheim University, which offers various bachelor's and master's programs related to horticulture, landscape architecture, and urban planning. He manages the university's park system, which serves as both an educational resource and a living laboratory for students and researchers.
