About
L. McMurray is a leading researcher in agricultural robotics and plant phenomics, focusing on the intersection of automation and crop science. Their most impactful work centers on developing autonomous systems for high-throughput, in-field phenotyping, particularly for row crops. McMurray’s major contribution is the design and validation of an autonomous ground vehicle that can efficiently collect detailed physical measurements of crops growing under real field conditions—a critical step beyond controlled environment studies. This work, published in 2017 and cited over 115 times, directly addresses the bottleneck of manual labor in phenomics, enabling faster, more accurate data collection for plant breeding and genomics. By bridging robotics and agronomy, McMurray has helped pave the way for scalable, precision agriculture technologies that can improve crop productivity. Their research is foundational for students and researchers interested in automating field trials and integrating engineering solutions with biological discovery.
