Dr. Atsuo Ikeguchi received a PhD in Agriculture from Tsukuba University, Japan. After serving as an Associate Professor at Tsukuba University, he moved to the Animal Science Research Institute of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, where he conducted research on environmental control in livestock facilities, animal behavior, environmental assessment using LCA, and related topics. A special research focus has been the relationship between aerosol and microbes including pathogens, dispersion properties of aerosol, and odor. Dr. Ikeguchi developed an autonomous mobile robot to control the air hygiene environment inside laying chicken facilities in 1997. He was appointed as a Visiting Professor at Iowa State University in the USA in 1998. Since 2013, he has been engaged in teaching and research as a Professor at Utsunomiya University, Japan. Dr. Ikeguchi developed and has promoted a next-generation enclosed low-profile cross-ventilation dairy milking house system. This system includes early detection of hoof disease with AI and an application that recognizes the position and herd size of cattle using cameras to perform localized environmental control based on those data.
