This episode features Ketan Shende, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Florida. Shende discusses wirelessly transferring data from autonomous equipment in real-time and the challenges that task poses. Learn more about the wireless data communication system his team devised and tested it in the field.

In this episode, we hear from Klein Ileleji, Professor and Extension Engineer, Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Purdue University; founder, CEO, and CTO of JUA Technologies International; and co-chair of the ASABE Alliance for Modernizing African Agrifood Systems (AMAA).

Ileleji talks about the many challenges facing smallholder farmers in Africa and how the Dehytray portable solar dryer works to help dry fresh fruits and vegetables, making them more sanitary for consumption.

Quenton Schneider, PE, Project Engineer, Clapsaddle-Garber Associates, shares his story of how he became involved in ASABE and the impact it's had on his career in agricultural engineering. Today, he serves as Chair of YPC and is an up and coming leader in the ag engineering field--but how did he get to where he is today? Find out in this podcast.

In this podcast, we explore the challenging process of creating a new collegiate level program for precision agriculture, as explained by Utah State University professor Matt Yost, Ph.D. Yost discusses why interest in precision agriculture is rapidly increasing, the collaboration involved between faculty from different colleges within the university, and other nuances in the process.

In this episode, Walter Eshenaur shares about a unique project that was supported by the ASABE Giving Back Fund to bring running water to a school in Malawi. He elaborates on the importance of ag engineering to the project and the many factors that went into making the project a success.

In this special episode, we're talking with ASABE's newly minted Executive Director, Cedric Calhoun. You'll hear about his background and where he sees ASABE going in the future.

This interview is part 2 of the discussion with Xin Zhang, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Agricultural & Biological Engineering, Mississippi State University, on her team's research into building a robotic blackberry harvester.

In this episode, Xin Zhang, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Agricultural & Biological Engineering, Mississippi State University, discusses a perception system that her team has created for robotic blackberry harvesting. Artificial intelligence plays a role in the perception system and it also has a mobile platform.

In this episode, Jerome Trudel-Brais, a doctoral engineering student at ETS Montreal, discusses his findings after doing an evaluation of 47 different studies related to controlled environment agriculture facilities, including why energy use efficiency is necessary in CEA facilities, why indoor plant environments have such a high demand for energy, metrics for tracking energy use efficiency, and more.

In this episode, James Kim, Ph.D., Research Agricultural Engineer with USDA and adjunct professor in agricultural and biological engineering at North Dakota State University, based in Fargo, N.D., discusses how satellite remote sensing provides farmers with a method for monitoring crops on a large scale. He discusses the prediction about the number of satellites, why the increasing availablility of small satellites has created opportunity for remote sensing, and more.
