Alex Irlbeck

Engineer | irlbeck@iastate.edu

Since joining the Digital Ag team in 2018, Alex has seen his work go from field test to production line. Being able to see projects come to life and make a difference in the agriculture industry is a key part of what keeps him passionate about continuing to create solutions for our industry partners and for producers nationwide.

“I enjoy the opportunity to work on real projects that are going to have an actual impact and make it to market in the near future, but also be able to work with some pretty cutting-edge technology and research,” Alex said. “From when I started as a grad student, I've gotten to see the projects I was working on go from 5 years out from production, to now where there are physical machines with some of the features I have worked on.”
