Fatemeh Sheibani, Cary Mitchell, and industry collaborators published an article entitled “Close-canopy lighting, an effective energy-saving strategy for overhead sole-source LED lighting in indoor farming” in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science.
Congratulations to the following HLA’s graduate students for successfully defended their theses, completed their degrees, and will graduate in August. We wish them all the best! Fatemeh Sheibani, Ph.D. Under Dr. Cary Mitchell Emily Kuhn, MS under Dr. Ying Li Scott Benzinger, MS under Dr. Josh Widhalm
Purdue Today featured Cary Mitchell and Fatemeh Sheibani’s novel research on LED lighting in vertical farming was on February 21. Their research designed two simple strategies that would increase yield while reducing costs in vertical farming, the fastest growing sector in controlled environment agriculture. Other media outlets picked up the story, including Indiana Public Media.
