Graduate student Pooja Kumari recently received the NDSU Uncrewed Autonomous Systems (UAS) Scholarship. This prestigious award recognizes dedication and commitment to the field of UAS. The $1,000 scholarship is to support UAS-related research or learning activities.
"A heartfelt thank you to Xin (Rex) Sun and the selection committee for this incredible opportunity. I’m eager to continue advancing in this field and contributing to innovative solutions in autonomous systems. Looking forward to sharing updates on how this scholarship helps shape my academic and professional journey!"
Kumari is a Ph.D. student in Genomics, Phenomics, and Bioinformatics at North Dakota State University (NDSU). Her research centers on predictive modeling of foliar diseases in spring wheat breeding using UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) data. She also studies the genetics of host-pathogen interactions, with a particular focus on Septoria nodorum blotch.
