Senior🎓
Top SchoolKefauver Shawn is a plant physiologist and Ramon y Cajal Research Fellow at the University of Barcelona with eight years of focused research and teaching experience in crop ecophysiology and remote sensing. He blends field-based plant science with technical expertise in UAV systems, multispectral/thermal imaging and open-source image analysis to phenotype crops for yield and climate resilience. His work spans academia and applied projects, including CIMMYT-funded disease phenotyping and NASA-supported remote sensing research, reflecting a knack for translating complex sensors into practical agricultural tools. Fluent in English, Spanish and Catalan academic environments, he has a strong record of mentoring students and lecturing in applied plant physiology. Notably, he pairs traditional ecophysiology with hands-on UAV engineering and software development—an uncommon combination that accelerates scalable phenotyping solutions. Based in Barcelona, he leverages international training (Fulbright, ESA summer school, UC Davis PhD) to bridge global research networks and local agricultural challenges.
