Our lab is seeking motivated, self-directed undergraduate students to join us for hands-on research projects. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in cutting-edge plant science technologies and contribute to meaningful research. Successful applicants will have the chance to work on one of the following projects:
1. Development of a Low-Cost Environmental Condition Monitoring System
In this project, students will explore the development of an affordable low-cost environmental condition monitoring system. Participants will:
- Gain hands-on experience operating RGB camera to analyze plant properties.
- Learn to design, control, and integrate low-cost ICT (Information and Communication Technology) sensors for environmental monitoring.
- Engage in open science practices, ensuring that all processes, data, and documentation are openly shared for transparency and reproducibility.
2. Monitoring A-Ci curve and light-response curve using LI-6800
This project focuses on monitoring plant physiological parameters, such as gas exchange in response to variations in CO₂ concentration and light intensity. Participants will:
- Operate and analyze data using LI-6800 to study photosynthesis.
- Contribute to open science initiatives by documenting and sharing the entire development process.
3. Development of Plant Structure Monitoring System
In this project, students will explore the development of plant structure monitoring system. Participants will:
- Gain hands-on experience operating LiDAR sensor to analyze plant properties.
- Learn to design, control, and integrate low-cost ICT (Information and Communication Technology) sensors for environmental monitoring.
- Engage in open science practices, ensuring that all processes, data, and documentation are openly shared for transparency and reproducibility.
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for self-motivated students who are eager to learn, take initiative, and contribute to research in a collaborative environment. Additional tasks may include developing prototypes, troubleshooting equipment, or assisting with other ongoing lab projects.
Benefits of Joining
- Hands-on experience with cutting-edge research tools and methodologies.
- Opportunity to contribute to open science and develop skills in reproducible research.
- Potential for co-authorship on publications or conference presentations, depending on the project’s progress.
- Guidance and mentorship in research techniques and critical thinking.
