PhD in Chemical/Bioprocess Engineering

Autonomous microbial bioprocesses are limited by a lack of fast, reliable measurements of the cultivation medium./nThe AINA project is recruiting two PhD candidates to address this challenge by developing and experimentally validating AI-enabled monitoring and control for microbial fermentation./nYou will develop algorithms and test them in an advanced, automated microbial feedback control laboratory, enabling rapid iteration from concept → implementation → experimental validation./nThe work links advanced optical spectroscopy (including Raman and complementary NIR/MIR techniques) to state estimation and autonomous feedback control in microbial fermentation.
