Research Interests and Experience

Dr. Griffin’s research and extension programs focus on cropping systems, agriculture technology, farm management, and digitalization of agriculture. In addition to academic faculty positions at the University of Illinois, University of Arkansas, and most recently Kansas State University, Griffin’s private sector experience influences his applied research programs, including the adoption and profitability of precision agricultural technologies, valuation of farm data, optimizing farm machinery decisions, analyzing temporal-spatial trends in agricultural systems, and how space weather impacts agricultural productivity. Griffin was recently appointed to the Space Weather Advisory Group (SWAG), which supports the White House Subcommittee on Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM). He will serve through 2027, helping the U.S. prepare for the risks solar activity poses to GPS-dependent industries such as agriculture, construction, mining, and drilling.
