The Agri-Environment Systems Biology group conducts in-depth scientific research to solve issues related uniquely to agriculture and the environment.
We study complex relationships in environmental and agro-ecosystems to provide transnational tools and explanations for policy and management decisions. We are taking a multidisciplinary approach by incorporating hydrology, robotics and AI, meta-genomics, metabolomics, computational, and high-resolution imaging to study these interesting biological systems.
Prof. Sanjay is the principal investigator of the AESB research group and currently serves as an Associate Professor under the Department of Biological Sciences at NUS.
