research project

For industrial biotechnology, efficient fermentation processes are crucial. For this purpose, a soft sensor will be developed to optimally control of a specific bioprocess and thus achieve maximum yields in minimum fermentation time. The soft sensor will continuously measure process parameters, which cannot be measured directly with conventional hardware sensors, based on a model. The project consists of a theoretical programming aspect in addition to a practical fermentation aspect using Escherichia coli.
