Davide Cammarano Davide Cammarano, Associate Professor in Digital Agriculture, Agronomy. Dr. Cammarano joins us from the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he was a research scientist. He earned his Ph.D. from the School of Resource Management and Geography at the University of Melbourne. Davide's research interests are in crop modeling, precision agriculture, agronomy, remote sensing, and climate forecasts in agriculture.
Greg Fraley Greg Fraley, Terry and Sandra Tucker Family Endowed Chair of Poultry Science, Animal Sciences. Dr. Fraley earned his bachelor's degree in animal science and master's degree in physiology, both from the University of Maryland at College Park, and the Ph.D. in neuroscience from Washington State University at Pullman. He came to Purdue from the Biology department at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. While at Hope College, he developed an outstanding record of teaching excellence and scholarship, receiving national recognition, including by the Midwest Poultry Consortium in 2017. His research focuses on duck neurobiology.
Sung Kim Sung Kim, Clinical Assistant Professor, Agricultural Economics. Dr. Kim earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Oberlin College, a master's in information systems from Stevens Institute of Technology, an M.A./M.S. in economics and statistics from California State University, East Bay, and a Ph.D. in management information systems from the University of Oklahoma.
