Background Samsuzana
is currently enrolled in PhD program majoring Agricultural Engineering at the
Department of Agricultural and Biosystems
Engineering, Iowa State University. She received a scholarship from
Government of Malaysia to obtain a doctorate degree as a preparation to
become a faculty member at the Department of Biological and Agricultural
Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia. Research Digital elevation
model development from
agricultural applications This project investigates how digital elevation models could
be developed using measurements available from field operations with minimal
user input for conservation planning, precision agriculture, and field
automation. Dielectric sensing
for hydraulic fluid contamination detection Degradation and contamination of the
working fluids is a major cause of failures in hydraulic systems. Low cost sensors that
give early warnings of fluid problems could add significant value to
hydraulic systems by providing an opportunity to take corrective action prior
to failure. This project is to investigate the variability in dielectric
measurements across fluids and temperatures affected by different contaminations
in order to develop a model for a sensing system. |
