PhD position: Optimizing a microbial fermentation process

That’s the project

Bioprocess development of a microbial fermentation process using digital and statistical tools. An existing process will be optimized. A design of experiment approach will be developed with a hybrid modelling software with the goal of developing digital twin of controlled stirred-tank bioreactors. Scale up of the process must also be implemented in close relation to industrial partner. Analytical methods must be developed and implemented. Media optimization approaches may also be performed.
