Juan Quiros

Forschungszentrum Jülich
Juan Quiros is an agronomist specializing in the use of remote sensing tools to assess vegetation functioning. He earned his MSc at the University of São Paulo (Brazil), where he used Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery to study the performance of various legume varieties in the field; atopic that he further explored in more detail as a research associate at Washington State University (USA). In 2019, Juan joined Uwe Rascher’s group at Forschungszentrum Jülich as an Early Stage Researcher. From 2021 to 2023, he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Bonn (Germany), investigating the relationship between airborne-sensed chlorophyll fluorescence and the plant-available water on the soil over three crops. Currently, he holds a postdoctoral position where he leads the field photosynthesis phenotyping for the CASS project, based on pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) technologies. He also collaborates closely with Prof. Gruissem’s team on analyzing the seasonal growth of cassava varieties in Taiwan from UAV imagery.
