Following a national search, George Vellidis has been named the first permanent director of the Institute for Integrative Precision Agriculture (IIPA).

“Dr. Vellidis has been a vital member of our UGA faculty for years and played a key role in launching IIPA,” said Chris King, interim vice president for research. “Whether it’s his impact as a first-class researcher and educator, or the work he does behind the scenes to elevate our reputation in the field abroad, his presence has made UGA a hub for precision agriculture research. We are thrilled to have him take the reins of a unit already poised for tremendous growth.”
