About
Shigeru Morita is a leading figure in agricultural and food engineering, with a primary focus on developing advanced spectroscopic sensing technologies for real-time quality assessment. His most influential work centers on the application of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to revolutionize dairy farming, most notably through his pioneering 2008 paper on an on-line NIR sensing system for milk quality assessment in milking robots. This highly cited work (133 citations) has been instrumental in enabling automated, non-destructive monitoring of milk composition—such as fat and protein content—directly during the milking process, significantly improving efficiency and animal welfare in modern dairy operations. Morita’s contributions have bridged the gap between precision agriculture and food safety, providing a robust framework for integrating sensor technology into automated farming systems. His research has not only advanced academic understanding but also offered practical, scalable solutions for the agricultural industry, making him a key innovator in the field of smart farming and quality control.
