The lab visit was dedicated to exploring the latest innovations in precision agriculture, with an in-depth, hands-on session in agricultural engineering. Dr. Travis Esau led a demonstration on Comparative Technologies for Weed Control. Students explored a range of systems from traditional boom sprayers to drone-based smart sprayers, gaining valuable insight into the efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of each technology. The session emphasized how sprayer systems are evolving to reduce herbicide use and minimize environmental impacts, which are vital to modern sustainable agriculture.

It has been a privilege to supervise Mathieu Bilodeau through his doctoral journey. His research, “Assessing Equipment and Technologies for Use in the Development of Dykeland in Atlantic Canada for Sustainable Agricultural Production,” tackled timely and important challenges at the intersection of engineering, agriculture, and sustainability. Mathieu’s dedication, critical thinking, and collaborative spirit made him a core asset to our Agricultural Mechanized Systems Research Team. I’m proud of all he has accomplished and look forward to seeing how his work continues to make a positive impact with sustainable agricultural production.
Congratulations, Dr. Bilodeau, on this well-deserved achievement!
