The Texas A&M Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering shared the No. 1 ranking among undergraduate programs in the United States, according to the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” list for 2025. Join us in the celebration! Follow the link here for more information: https://lnkd.in/gQ-9sF5t

Congratulations to Shikhadri Mahanta and Nahndi Kirk-Bradley for winning first at the ASABE Bioprocess Engineering Competition! The competition asks students to develop a new product or process that utilizes a biological resource. The teams then pitch their ideas to industry representatives in a "shark tank" format at the Annual International Meeting. Since it was held in Anaheim this year, the students were tasked towards helping create a bioprocess in California. Our young ladies developed a plasma-based solution that offers safe and effective alternatives to traditional fumigation methods directed at California's rice industry. #asabe24

Low quality photos, but high quality event! Congratulations to all our graduate students who presented at ASABE AIM in Anaheim, CA last week. Your dedication to your research was evident in each and every presentation and poster. #asabe24

Texas agriculture producers who rely on irrigation have a new tool created by?Texas A&M AgriLife?irrigation specialists to help them optimize water use as their crops progress through the growing season. The TexasET App for smartphones was designed to calculate crop-specific irrigation recommendations for plants’ water needs according to growth stage. For more: https://lnkd.in/gsxSuVA2

We could not be prouder watching our seniors walk the stage. Congrats graduates of 2024! Wishing you all the best as you embark into a new chapter of your life.

Jaehak Jeong, Ph.D., is a professor of biological and agricultural engineering and water management and hydrological science in the Texas A&M University Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering. Jeong is internationally known for his leadership in the Agricultural Policy/Environmental Extender model. He has conducted research in eco-hydrologic modeling, land management and climate change impacts on water resources and crop production, greenhouse gas emission controls on croplands, watershed hydrology and water quality, urban stormwater management practices, soil erosion and sediment transport, parameter sensitivity analysis, and model optimization and integration. Jeong is a leader in computational hydrology and cropping systems modeling research. He has authored or co-authored 107 peer-reviewed publications, which have been cited more than 3,200 times. Jeong’s research and service have contributed to improving water resource conservation through computational modeling, assessments and watershed protection. -- The LEAD AgriLife program was created to develop the collective strength of faculty and staff across the organizations under Texas A&M AgriLife. The bridges created will lead to more research, programs and projects that are multi-department. Learn more at tx.ag/LEAD2324

Today and everyday, we strive to help find changes to improve our world. Follow the link below to read how Dr. Kan is looking for a better way to remove or degrade stubborn pollutants, also called forever chemicals, from waste before they impact human and animal health. https://lnkd.in/gu8_sVut #EarthDay

Please help us welcome Dr. Michael Buser as the recently appointed Endowed Chair in Cotton Engineering, Ginning and Mechanization! With a goal to build community, Dr. Buser joins the department as a new faculty member bringing more than 25 years of agricultural engineering experience.
