Summary
Mahmoud Rady is a PhD Research Assistant and horticultural scientist with eight years of experience applying precision agriculture, remote sensing, and AI to sustainable crop production. Based in Charleston, SC, he focuses on optimizing leafy greens cultivation through soil-health practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage while leveraging drones, satellites, and deep learning for real-time plant monitoring. His background spans academic appointments at Clemson, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Texas Tech, and Alexandria University, where he taught and researched protected agriculture, soilless culture, and postharvest technology. Mahmoud blends hands-on field management with computational skills (Python, vegetation indices, QGIS) to turn sensor data into actionable irrigation and fertilization recommendations. Although primarily a horticulturist, he also develops front-end projects on GitHub, reflecting a practical cross-section of UI development and agri‑tech research tools. This combination of applied field expertise and data-driven modeling positions him to advance resilient, high‑yield production systems in diverse landscapes.
