John K. Schueller
Professor, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
University of Florida

Abstract: Although virtual worlds can be interesting and fun, the over eight billion people on Earth want and need real items. Prof. Schueller will review a selection of his diverse work, specifically the efforts to improve manufacturing and agricultural production using techniques of agricultural, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering. His manufacturing discussion will concentrate on the improvement of metal removal processes, such as the high-speed machining of helicopter components. His agricultural discussion will concentrate on the development of machines and systems utilizing sensors and controls to respond to the inherent spatial variabilities in crop production.
