**Xanthoula Eirini Pantazi**

Xanthoula Eirini Pantazi, PhD is Assistant Professor at Faculty of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. She holds a PhD in Biosystems Engineering and is an expert in bio-inspired computational systems and data mining. Her research interests include precision farming, plant stress detection, IoT, big data, robotics, sensor fusion, machine learning, deep learning and non-destructive sensing of bio-material and crop protection. She has been involved in several EU projects and ERANET and has developed apps for FIWARE future Internet applications based on Neural Network application. She has designed a DSS system for post-harvest quality assessment in organic crops. Her recent research interests consider Bioinformatics applications in field phenotyping with autonomous platforms (e.g. UAV, robots) and application of active learning in a number of sectors from condition monitoring, yield prediction, crop status determination, weed species recognition as well as post-harvest quality determination. She is co-author of the research monograph book "Intelligent Data Mining and Fusion Systems in Agriculture" (https://www.elsevier.com/ books/intelligent-data-mining-and-fusion-systems-in-agriculture/pantazi/978-0-12-814391-9 ).
