Dr. Chinthaka Jayasinghe is a research scientist at Agriculture Victoria Research. Currently, Dr. Jayasinghe provides leadership for infield forage phenomics of Agriculture Victoria, Hamilton Smart Farm, delivering the critical plant performance data to enable forage crop improvements to be made in breeding and on-farm settings. Dr. Jayasinghe completed his PhD in pasture agronomy and remote sensing at the University of Melbourne in 2022, where he developed a computerised pipeline to assess the proportion of grass and soil in images acquired from the ground and air. His findings in PhD research allow breeding companies and farmers to rapidly measure the longevity of pastures.
