Hello, my name is Kui Zhao and I am a doctoral student at TU Wien under the program PLFDoc – Precision Livestock Farming, which is a collaborative project with the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna and the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. I am working on precision livestock farming with computer vision.

My work addresses tasks such as animal detection, pose estimation, and action recognition on livestock such as cattle and pigs. In addition, I will explore how explainable AI (XAI) can help improve computer vision to better understand animal behavior and improve animal welfare. Through this research, I hope to contribute to more sustainable agriculture with improved livestock farming practices.
