Sandra Skendžić is a PhD student and Research Assistant at the Department of Agricultural Zoology, Division of Phytomedicine, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb. She holds a bachelor's degree in Plant Sciences and a master's degree in Phytomedicine from the same institution, where she was recognized with the Rector's Award for academic excellence. Currently in the final year of her postgraduate doctoral studies in Agricultural Sciences, Sandra conducts her research under the mentorship of Assoc. Prof. Darija Lemić, Ph.D., and Assoc. Prof. Monika Zovko, Ph.D. Her doctoral research is supported by the project "Advanced and Predictive Agriculture for Resilience to Climate Change (AgroSPARC)." It focuses on investigating climate change phenomena and their impacts on crop production and agricultural insect pests, with a particular emphasis on adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate-related biotic and abiotic stressors in winter wheat. Her research leverages advanced technologies, including remote and proximal sensing, as well as the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture, for early detection and identification of crop stress. By utilizing these cutting-edge tools, her work aims to enhance precision agriculture practices and contribute to sustainable crop management under changing climatic conditions.
