Adjunct Professor in the field of Environmental Sanitation at the Hydraulic Research Institute (IPH/UFRGS), Productivity Research Fellow (CNPq, 2019–2025), and Executive Coordinator of the National Institute of Science and Technology in Nature-Based Solutions – INCT SbN (CNPq/CAPES/FAPERGS). He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Sanitation and Water Resources (UFMS), with Postdoctoral research (UFMS) involving academic mobility at Aarhus University (Denmark) and Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira (Colombia). He is a Sanitary Engineer and Specialist in Project Management (USP). He has served as a faculty member and researcher at S-INOVA/UCDB (2013–2022), as a Visiting Professor at UFMS (2022), and as a consultant for several institutions (WWF, DNIT, AEGEA, FAPEC, municipalities, among others). He was President of the Brazilian Association of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering in Mato Grosso do Sul (ABES-MS, 2021–2023) and reactivated the Young Water Professionals Program (JPS).

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Price Faculty of Engineering, University of Manitoba, Manitoba, Canada;
Prof. Jie (Jay) Wang is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba, where he leads the Robot Autonomy Lab. His research focuses on field robotics, learning-based control, and safe autonomy for harsh and uncertain environments, with current applications in agriculture and Arctic field operations. His team develops AI-enhanced ground robots that can navigate soft soil, ruts, and variable weather while maintaining precise control and safety guarantees. Before joining the University of Manitoba, he worked on autonomous mobile robots and vehicle control in academic and industrial settings in Canada.

Australian Plant Phenomics Network The Plant Accelerator, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia;
In 2018, I finished my PhD study of machine vision for invertebrate detection on crops at the University of South Australia. In the same year, I joined The Plant Accelerator, the Adelaide node of the Australian Plant Phenomic Facility, located at the Waite campus of The University of Adelaide, as a post-doctoral researcher. Since then, I have been specialising in machine vision and machine learning for plant phenotyping and precision agriculture, especially for hyperspectral imaging-based plant phenotyping. I am currently a grant-funded researcher and my research interests include plant nutrient estimation, plant disease detection, drought and salt stress tolerance, plant growing status estimation, invertebrate pest detection, machine learning and deep learning, optical sensing system design, bio-inspired machine vision system, bird vision, insect vision, high-dimensional colour space, 3D model reconstruction and object recognition.

AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Vienna, Austria;
Principal Scientist at Center for Health and Bioresources at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. Plants are frequently challenged by unfavorable environmental conditions. Drought, temperature extremes or pathogen infections limit plant growth and development. Research in her team focuses on the mechanisms that plants use to cope with stress and explore their potential for new crop improvement strategies. Emphasis is placed on how signal transduction cascades regulate the coordinated responses of cellular metabolism and chromatin-related processes.

Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China;
