Coffee is a critical agricultural commodity to be used to produce a premium beverage to serve people worldwide. Coffee microbiome turned to be an essential tool to improve the bean quality through the natural fermentation. Therefore, understanding the microbial diversities could create the final product's better quality. This study investigated the natural microbial consortium during the wet process fermentation of coffee onsite in Thailand to characterize the microorganisms involved in correlation toward the biochemical characteristics and metabolic attributes. Roasting is another important step in developing the complex flavor/ aroma that make coffee to be enjoyable. During the roasting process, the beans undergo many complex and alternatively change in the physicochemical properties from the gained substances in the fermentation process. The changing in the formation of the substances responsible for the sensory qualities, physicochemical/ aroma attributes as well as the health benefits of the final product. Using the starter culture could also develop the distinguished characteristics of coffee (Research collaboration with Van Hart company)

This project is a carbon safe haven of Bangkok, aspiring to be the prototypal gateway of the future's carbon net zero ambitions. The project aims to answer the fundamental "flaw" of the existing urban fabric, still being extremely inefficient and highly polluting. Conversely, Carbon Oasis would not only create its own energy, but look to provide its excess energy and water surplus' back to the city and its surroundings. Taking parts of the existing city and implementing new concepts to inspire a change in the urban fabric and its people.

Induction Heating Machine (IHM) is a crucial device in the jewelry industry, utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat and join precious metals. This research focuses on developing a Dual Coil Induction Heating Machine (Dual Coil IHM) to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs in jewelry factories using Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA) through Ansys Maxwell software. The research process began with testing a single-coil IHM under real operating conditions and using EMA to analyze the generated magnetic flux density (B). Subsequently, dual-coil configurations in Parallel and Series arrangements were designed and compared. The experimental results revealed that the series dual coil produced a higher magnetic flux and allowed for optimizing current (I), frequency (f), number of coil turns (N), and coil spacing (d) for better manufacturing performance. The findings indicate that the series dual-coil IHM can double production capacity compared to the conventional single-coil model. Furthermore, EMA technology minimizes physical testing, reduces errors, and enhances precision in designing industrial machinery for the jewelry manufacturing sector.

This project presents the development of an automatic recycling machine for plastic bottles and cans, utilizing Machine Learning for packaging classification through image processing, integrated with smart sensor systems for quality inspection and operation control. The system connects to a Web Application for real-time monitoring and control. Once the packaging type is verified, the system automatically calculates the refund value and processes payment through e-wallet or issues cash vouchers. The system can be installed in public spaces to promote waste segregation at source, reduce contamination, and increase recycling efficiency. It also provides financial incentives to encourage public participation in waste management. This project demonstrates the potential of combining Machine Learning and smart sensor systems in developing accurate, convenient, and sustainable waste management solutions.
