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 develops a platform using computer vision to analyze real-time CCTV footage for detecting traffic law violations, such as crossing solid lines. The system can automatically identify and record traffic rule infringements, improving law enforcement efficiency and reducing the workload of traffic police officers. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in developing smart city systems by integrating data to enhance traffic management and road safety.

The innovation of the vertical aquaponics system for rearing golden apple snails integrating with vegetable cultivation by using substrates to water treatment. The system aims to maximize the use of vertical space, save water, and produce safe vegetables for consumption or commercial purposes, and to support living things. The golden apple snail excretes wastes/leftover food scraps that are filtered on the substrates used for water treatment. Meanwhile, natural bacteria help change these wastes into nutrients that plants can use. Therefore, the system is environmentally friendly.

This project presents a design and management approach for agricultural land in Kanchanaburi Province. The case study area is situated in Wangdong Subdistrict, Mueang Kanchanaburi District, covering an area of approximately 18 rai (7.2 acres). As the user seeks a simplified lifestyle in the countryside, surrounded by nature, the design aligns with this vision of simplicity and sustainability. The land is systematically allocated to optimize the benefits for both daily living and agricultural industry development. The crop cultivation zones are designed to suit the local climate and plant varieties, ensuring high-quality yields for continuous utilization. Meanwhile, the livestock zones are clearly delineated to maintain balance and organization. This approach not only ensures food security and income generation but also promotes a lifestyle that harmonizes with nature, minimizes environmental impact, and supports the long-term development of an efficient and eco-friendly agricultural industry. Comprehensive attention is given to the positioning of various zones, considering wind direction and sunlight exposure. Additionally, the design undergoes a rigorous drafting and review process to ensure the optimal outcomes for the land's utilization.
