生物和农业工程理学硕士-农业自动化工程

生物系统工程系将生物科学与工程学相结合，以开发针对农业，食品和自然系统的工程解决方案。农业自动化工程科学家致力于为农业中的农作物生产问题提供工程解决方案。从种子到餐桌，我们的研究人员与种植者，收割机，食品加工厂以及支持他们开发可促进农业的经济增长和环境可持续性的新技术的行业合作。当前的主要研究活动包括无线传感器网络的开发，用于水果的实时产量监测和跟踪，土壤和植物的远程和接触感测，自动化和针对性的害虫管理系统，蔬菜和水果收获后处理，智能和/或机器人农业机械，机上农作物感测和控制系统以及基于传感器的田间作业管
The department of Biological Systems Engineering integrates the biological sciences and engineering for the development of engineering solutions to agricultural, food and natural systems. Bioenergy and Bioproducts (BBE) scientists work toward advancing science and technologies to convert biomass, including wastes, into useful products, fuels, and fuel additives. Highlights of our research program include: Production lipid from lignocellulosics for upgrading into renewable jet fuels, diesel, and gasoline, Integrated algal fuel production including culture processes and extractions of co-products and lipids, Anaerobic digestion technologies for producing biogas, co-products, and nutrient recovery, Multiscale modeling of biorefining processes and systems, Devise feasible process to deconstruct cellulosic biomass, Identify pathways to convert lignin to jet fuel.<br> Biomass thermochemical conversions for producing advanced biofuels, chemicals, and bioproducts
