Khosla has been involved in precision agriculture since its inception, making significant contributions to its development and global adoption. He is the founder and past president of the International Society of Precision Agriculture. Khosla’s research focuses on harnessing spatial and temporal variability in managed agro-ecosystems to improve decision making. Currently, Khosla is co-leading multi-state, multi-year, federally funded projects to develop and evaluate next-generation sensors and novel AI algorithms designed to enhance water and nitrogen use in irrigated systems.
