About
D. Stefanelli is a leading researcher in precision agriculture and horticultural science, with a primary focus on leveraging advanced sensor technologies for crop health assessment and optimizing fruit quality. Their work bridges the gap between engineering and plant physiology, particularly through the development of active and passive electro-optical sensors for non-destructive, early detection of biotic and abiotic stresses in food crops. This research, highlighted in their highly cited 2020 paper (54 citations), is critical for preventing yield losses and enabling spatially precise disease quantification, directly supporting sustainable farming practices. Stefanelli also investigates the complex physiological factors driving within-tree variation in fruit quality, as demonstrated in their 2016 study on soluble solids concentration in peaches and nectarines. By integrating remote sensing with horticultural physiology, their contributions offer practical tools for growers to enhance crop monitoring and postharvest decision-making. With a growing citation impact, Stefanelli’s work is shaping the future of precision horticulture, making them a key figure in the transition toward data-driven, resilient agricultural systems.
