EXCITING NEWS FROM THE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY!

🔬 Project 1: Investigation of YABBY Transcription Factor-Encoding Genes Associated with Adverse Responses in Cassava (Manihot esculenta)
Conducted by students Lê Đức Chiến, Đào Thị Chúc, Lê Thanh Tình, and Trần Minh Hiếu, under the supervision of Dr. Hoàng Thị Điệp (Faculty of Information Technology) and Dr. Chu Đức Hà (Faculty of Agricultural Technology). This study holds significant implications for gene function analysis, with the potential to contribute to the development of cassava cultivars with enhanced resilience to environmental stress.
 

📊 Project 2: Development and Optimization of Machine Learning Models for Rice Grain Counting and Size Analysis in Breeding Programs
This research was carried out by students Nguyễn Minh Quân, Nguyễn Thị Kim Cúc, Lê Hoàng Vũ, and Nguyễn Văn Quyết, supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phạm Minh Triển (Faculty of Agricultural Technology) and MSc. Vũ Minh Trung. The project demonstrates a novel integration of artificial intelligence with agriculture, aiming to optimize the rice breeding process—a pioneering step in the application of digital technology to precision agriculture.

🍊 Project 3: Improving the MobileNet v3 Small Model for Disease Recognition in Citrus Leaves
Conducted by students Phùng Trường Trinh and Hà Quang Hưng, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phạm Minh Triển. This research aims to enhance the rapid and accurate identification of plant diseases, contributing to the advancement of automated diagnostic technologies for sustainable agriculture.
 

📚 Notably, the outcomes of all three projects have been published in international conferences (Scopus-indexed), international journals (WoS/Scopus), or peer-reviewed national journals, demonstrating their academic rigor and relevance. These achievements mark an important milestone in the students’ scientific development and highlight the dedicated mentorship provided by their faculty advisors.

💐 Congratulations to all student teams and their supervisors! We look forward to seeing these projects continue to shine at the upcoming University-Level Conference!
