Projects

Project type

Academic research project

My role

Designed and conducted a factorial in vitro study tracking gas, methane-related measures, VFA profiles and endpoint pH.

Completed a structured literature review on plant polyphenols, Moringa oleifera, rumen fermentation and sustainable livestock production.

Output

Study design and documented endpoints for fermentation conditions and feed-additive treatments.

Methods

Factorial design · in vitro treatments · gas, VFA and pH endpoints · structured literature review

The project shows the research design and endpoints; it does not claim efficacy, statistical significance or commercial validation.

Project type

Supervised laboratory project

My role

Prepared solutions and samples, then completed supervised oral, gastric and intestinal simulation phases using stage-specific fluids, enzymes, pH and incubation conditions.

Interpreted TPC and FRAP results using standards and 96-well microplate absorbance readings.

Output

A repeatable workflow linking pH control, centrifugation, sample handling and biochemical readouts.

Methods

solution and sample preparation · simulated digestion · incubation conditions · 96-well microplate absorbance · standards

This was supervised academic work; it does not establish accreditation, a standalone 96-well credential, independent instrument authority, assay validation or product efficacy.

Project type

Supervised coursework and practical training

My role

Observed chicken dust-bathing and foraging, alongside pig housing, body condition, tear staining and eye appearance as welfare indicators during practical training.

Explored electronic monitoring, automated feeding, 3D imaging and computer-vision applications through training and field exposure.

Output

Course-based evidence connecting behaviour and welfare observation with precision-livestock technology exposure.

Methods

Chicken behaviour observation · pig welfare indicators · electronic monitoring · technology review

No clinical diagnosis, professional welfare authority, sensor deployment, collected sensor data, computer-vision model or accuracy result is claimed.

Project type

Academic diagnostics project

My role

Explored water/eDNA sampling as a surveillance approach and compared Northern Pacific seastar identification using COI barcoding, BOLD searches, sequence matching and phylogenetic interpretation.

Output

A structured academic comparison of species-identification and surveillance approaches.

Methods

water/eDNA approach review · COI barcoding · BOLD search · sequence matching · phylogenetic interpretation

eDNA was explored as an approach; no field collection, regulatory authority, validated diagnostic assay or surveillance deployment is claimed.

Project type

Course-based nutrition project

My role

Compared finishing-pig formulas, plant-based adjustments, ruminant TMRs and 3-NOP within coursework.

Output

Comparative coursework across pig and ruminant diet approaches.

Project type

Supervised practical training

My role

Practised semen processing, density-gradient preparation, motility assessment, hemocytometer counting and concentration calculation.

Output

A supervised sequence covering sample preparation, assessment, cell counting and calculation.

Project type

Course field exposure

My role

Observed cattle feeding and behavioural responses discussed in relation to heat stress, alongside agricultural robots, electronic cattle monitoring, automated feeding, farm zoning, agroforestry and shelterbelt design during course visits.

Output

Cross-system observations across farm, forestry, orchard and livestock settings.

These were field observations; no cattle handling, diagnosis, sensor operation, independent heat-stress assessment or commercial herd management is claimed.

Project type

Cross-disciplinary web project

My role

Pawmoir is a Sydney pet-keepsake web project Yunxiao helped create, bringing together product storytelling, customisation guidance and a complete customer journey.

Output

Public journey covering brand story, collection guidance, product configuration, shipping, returns and warranty.

No founder, owner, sole-author, implementation-stack or performance claim is made.
