By Dr. Peter Waller: My focus at the University of Arizona is on development of application and management systems for water and chemical application to soils and plants. Monitoring, evaluating, and controlling soil water content and chemical concentration within agricultural and landscape plant systems is a challenge that requires creative solutions. The entire system as well as interactions with other systems must be considered when designing an application or management system. The engineered solution should include sensors, controls, decision algorithms, and application systems.

My job description includes both teaching (40%) and research (60%), and I have made significant efforts in both research and teaching. I was the PI on nearly $1,000,000 in funded grants. Nearly all of the grants have resulted in significant engineering solutions that save water and chemicals and reduce off-target contamination.

Dr. Peter Waller teaches ABE 455/555 Irrigation Engineering.
