Atanas Atanasov

Atanas Atanasov is an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Machinery at the University of Ruse, Bulgaria. His academic career spans agricultural engineering with a dual focus on precision farming technologies and apicultural systems. Contact details include email aatanasov@uni-ruse.bg and phone +359 82 888 442.

His research integrates advanced engineering principles with agricultural applications, specializing in agricultural machinery optimization, precision agriculture through UAV and satellite remote sensing, and honeybee population dynamics modeling. Key areas include vibration analysis in harvesters, NDVI-based crop monitoring, soil-water conservation practices, and mathematical modeling of bee colony health. His work bridges theoretical optimization techniques with practical field applications in sustainable farming systems.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a strong emphasis on integrating deep learning with remote sensing for crop disease detection (particularly wheat rust), precision management of agricultural machinery fleets, and sophisticated modeling of honeybee colony collapse factors. His research consistently targets resource efficiency improvements in sloped land agriculture and innovative solutions for Varroa mite control in apiculture.
