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)

Cancer is one of the major health issues in Thailand, particularly as the country enters an aging society. The risk of chronic diseases among the elderly often results in limitations in treatment, making it difficult for most patients to achieve a complete recovery. This necessitates continuous care and the provision of accurate information and guidance about cancer. However, current health record systems for patients lack effective interconnectivity, which hinders data analysis and the development of patient care models. Additionally, incorrect information about cancer spread across social media can lead to misunderstandings among elderly patients. To address these issues, researchers have developed a chatbot system that utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to understand human language and accurately respond to questions about elderly cancer patient care. The chatbot provides reliable and up-to-date information based on medical knowledge sourced from a database reviewed by healthcare professionals. Furthermore, a web application has been developed to record and analyze patient assessments according to medical standards, enabling healthcare providers to plan and develop appropriate treatment approaches in a better way. This system also facilitates data sharing and connectivity across hospital systems, allowing information to be used to enhance the precision and modernity of treatment approaches. In addition, the chatbot acts as an assistant, providing information and guidance to patients, reducing the workload of healthcare staff in answering questions and encouraging patients to take a more active role in managing their own health.

Currently, lithium batteries are widely used in electronic devices and electric vehicles, making the estimation of their State of Health (SOH) crucial. Accurate SOH estimation helps extend battery lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent safety issues such as overheating or explosions. This project aims to study and analyze mathematical models of batteries and develop SOH estimation techniques using Neural Networks to enhance accuracy and evaluation speed. The experiment involved collecting charge and discharge data from three lithium battery cells under controlled temperature conditions while maintaining a constant current. The current, voltage, and time data were recorded and analyzed to determine the battery capacity for each cycle. These data were then used to train a Neural Network model. The results demonstrated an effective method for predicting battery health status. The outcomes of this project can contribute to the development of a Battery Management System (BMS) that improves battery efficiency and longevity. Additionally, it provides a foundation for applying artificial intelligence techniques in the energy sector effectively.

Smart Agriculture has rapidly developed in recent years, particularly with the integration of robotics and automation technologies to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, thereby enhancing the quality of current agricultural practices. A key innovation in this area is the rail-based robotic arm, designed to enhance work efficiency using a rail system with high precision and effectiveness. The application of this robotic arm covers various processes, such as planting, sorting, maintenance, harvesting, and resource management, allowing continuous operation and reducing human labor in repetitive and high-risk tasks. Studies have shown that the use of rail-based robotic arms in agriculture can significantly improve work efficiency, reduce production costs, and effectively mitigate environmental impact. By using robots in agricultural processes, it is possible to reduce contamination, lower the risk of crop damage, and make agriculture more sustainable. Additionally, it can increase accuracy in operations on limited spaces or farms with diverse crops. From these findings, it can be concluded that adopting rail-based robotic arm technology in agriculture not only enhances long-term production efficiency but also promotes sustainable agriculture and maximizes resource use, meeting future agricultural demands
