Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndres Patrignani is an Associate Professor and soil physicist with eight years of faculty experience studying soil water balance and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. He leads a soil physical properties laboratory, integrates in situ and proximal sensing with mesoscale environmental datasets for biophysical modeling, and develops decision-support tools to guide more sustainable agricultural practices. His teaching spans introductory Environmental Soil Physics to graduate-level scientific programming and reproducible research, reflecting a rare blend of field experimentation and computational rigor. Prior roles from postdoc to visiting scholar across U.S. land-grant institutions emphasize applied problems—soil moisture dynamics, evapotranspiration partitioning, and soil fertility impacts on crop performance. Based in Manhattan, Kansas, he combines deep hands-on measurement skills (neutron probes, LAI, root sampling) with modeling expertise to translate sensor data into practical agronomic insights.
