The original programming which became Plot Phenix was written by Anthony while a PhD student at Purdue University.  Flying fixed-wing UAVs to map field trials in Professor Katy Rainey’s soybean breeding program, he realized that the existing tools for generating orthomosaics were inadequate and that he had a better idea.  The resulting software was the core of an application by Anthony & Katy to Purdue Foundry’s Ag-Celerator™ startup program – a competition that they won.  Progeny Drone began selling software in 2019, under license from Purdue Office of Technology Commercialization.  Edwin joined the company in early 2020 after bumping into Katy -- a peer from grad school days at Cornell -- at a conference. He was quickly convinced that UAVs are now a mature technology for phenotyping -- even for those without technical computing skills.  We have since built a rapidly-growing user base worldwide, while continuing to develop Phenix.
