Bio of Dr. Maryna Kuzmenko
I created this page to make life easier for dear event organisers, journalists, podcast hosts, collaborators, and conference teams — a practical resource for anyone who needs a clear, accurate, publication-ready bio of Dr. Maryna Kuzmenko.
Professional bio
Dr. Maryna Kuzmenko brings nearly 10 years of practical experience in applying digital technologies in agriculture, with a primary focus on computer vision and deep learning for plant phenotyping and food quality assurance.
She is co-founder and CEO of Petiole, a UK-based SME developing practical AI tools for agriculture and plant science. The global platform Petiole Pro, developed by Maryna’s team, was named a finalist in the GIST Tech-I 2015 competition in the USA, shortlisted for the UK FPC Fresh Awards 2023, and received three grants from Innovate UK — the UK government’s innovation agency — and one Horizon Europe grant, for practical AI applications in agricultural challenges such as pest and disease detection.
Maryna was recognised as an Expert Top Voice on LinkedIn in the May 2026 edition and has an active educational presence in social and business media.
Dr Maryna Kuzmenko is a winner of the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2025/26, announced on 5 August 2026, for MooMore — an AI and thermal imaging system that detects inflammation in dairy cows before lameness develops. The award carries a £75,000 grant and a twelve-month programme running to June 2027. She was one of 61 grant winners among 100 women founders recognised from 1,590 applications.

Dr Maryna Kuzmenko teaches AI in agriculture to more than 3,000 students across 121 countries and writes the AI in Agriculture book series, beginning with The Precision Vineyard.

100-word bio
Dr Maryna Kuzmenko is a UK-based educator, author, and speaker on AI in agriculture. She teaches more than 3,000 students across 121 countries and writes the AI in Agriculture book series, beginning with The Precision Vineyard, a field guide to AI, sensors and robotics in viticulture. Her teaching returns to one problem: a measurement that matters is locked behind specialist equipment, so the people who need it never take it. With Petiole Pro that measurement was leaf area and the answer was a smartphone camera — tools now used by research organisations on six continents. With MooMore, which won the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2026, it is inflammation in dairy cattle and the answer is a thermal sensor.
Speaker introduction
Dr Maryna Kuzmenko teaches AI in agriculture to more than 3,000 students across 121 countries and is the author of The Precision Vineyard, the first book in her AI in Agriculture series. She is a winner of the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2026 for MooMore, which uses AI and thermal imaging to catch lameness in dairy cows before a farmer can see it, and has spent a decade applying computer vision to agriculture — from leaf area measurement used by researchers on six continents, to livestock health.

First-person bio
I teach AI in agriculture — to more than 3,000 students across 121 countries — and I write about it, most recently in The Precision Vineyard, a field guide for growers weighing up sensors and robotics. I also build the thing I teach: MooMore uses thermal imaging and on-device AI to catch lameness in dairy cows before anyone can see it, and it won the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award in 2026. Before this I spent a decade on the crop side, building measurement tools now used by research organisations on six continents.
