Biography

Ines Neji is a multidisciplinary researcher focused on applying artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies to agriculture. Her work combines computer science, machine learning, image processing, and environmental modeling to develop innovative solutions for sustainable and precision farming.

Research Project
Smart Farming and Digital Twins using AI

This research project centers on the development of an AI-powered Digital Twin framework to advance precision agriculture and promote sustainable farm management. By leveraging cutting-edge machine learning techniques in conjunction with imaging and environmental data, the project seeks to build intelligent models for real-time crop monitoring, early disease detection, and efficient resource optimization. The framework integrates live field inputs with dynamic virtual simulations, enabling proactive, data-informed decision-making for farmers and agricultural stakeholders. Conducted in partnership with the University of Konstanz, the initiative combines on-site experimentation with remote system development and encompasses the design, validation, and deployment of a fully functional Digital Twin prototype. The project is poised to significantly contribute to the digital transformation of agriculture by delivering forward-looking solutions to contemporary farming challenges and bridging the gap between physical farm environments and their intelligent digital counterparts.
