Personal profile
Research interests
Prof. Asseng’s (*1965) field of research is the analysis of atmosphere-crop-soil systems. His main research areas include impact of climate variability and climate change, cropping sustainability, food security, and how systems analysis and crop modelling can assist autonomous robot-managed cropping systems in the field and in fully-environmentally controlled indoor vertical farming.
Prof. Asseng studied agricultural sciences and received his PhD at Humboldt University Berlin and his Habilitation at Technical University Munich. He was a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO in Australia. He became a Full Professor in Agricultural and Biological Engineering at the University of Florida and the Director of the Florida Climate Institute. In 2020, Prof. Asseng was appointed to the professorship for Digital Agriculture and in 2021 the Director of the World Agricultural Systems Center at the Technical University Munich.
