Dr. Philipp Lottes founded Pheno-Inspect GmbH, a company focused on offering advanced technological solutions to agricultural practitioners worldwide. He seeks to enhance crop production and plant breeding by applying digital phenotyping. His academic journey involved a deep dive into Machine Learning and Computer Vision, particularly in their applications for agricultural robots, during his Ph.D. research at the University of Bonn. His understanding extends across different platforms including UAVs, smartphones, and tractor-based systems.
Beyond his time as a postdoctoral researcher, which concluded in 2022, and his role in Pheno-Inspect GmbH, Dr. Lottes’s combined background in surveying engineering and Geodesy and Geoinformation continues to underpin his commitment to advancing technology in the agricultural field.
