Kongens Lyngby
A PhD position is available in the frame of our industrial collaboration with Novozymes A/S. The focus of the project is the modelling of fermentation processes, where mechanistic, purely data-driven and hybrid approaches are considered to transform process data towards predictions of variables that are relevant in view of achieving an improved process. The project has to be seen in view of the general trend towards digitalization of pilot and full-scale processes.
The candidate working on this PhD project will be based at the Process and Systems Engineering Center (PROSYS) at DTU Chemical Engineering, and will work in close collaboration with the Fermentation Pilot Plant at Novozymes.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The PhD student will develop different types of mathematical models describing fermentation processes (upstream), and will furthermore focus on how to improve treatment system performance based on the model predictions. The tasks will include, but not be limited to
In accordance with the above-mentioned tasks, the applicant should preferably have qualifications within several of the following areas:
Expertise within chemical/biochemical engineering should be documented with the Master/Bachelor thesis and/or relevant publications in international journals.
The project and co-supervision of the PhD student will be in close collaboration with experts from Novozymes fermentation pilot plant. The project will include an external stay, which might be at a university abroad or at one of the Novozymes production sites.
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points), preferably in chemical or biochemical engineering, or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree.
