Offer: PhD Studentship - Data Driven Optimisation for Process Scale-up:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Award summary 100% fees (Home & international), a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £18,622 (2023/24 UKRI rate), and a research training support grant of £20,000. Overview This PhD project is part of theCDT in Process Industries:Net Zero.The prosperous PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from theProcess Intensification Groupat Newcastle University. Nestling has designed a containerised cultivation and processing plant for a broad range of microorganisms with a focus on mycelium. The system is fully automated; the SCADA system is connected to the cloud and provides performance data, enabling the monitoring of critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical quality attributes (CQAs). Nestling wishes to collect the data and apply machine learning techniques to identify process efficiency improvements and enable prediction across scales for a given biological process. The PhD project will develop, construct and applyMachine Learning techniques to the process data generated at the pilot scale to enable the prediction of process performance at larger scale. This will enable customers using Nestling's new platform to recognise best practice, identify key vulnerabilities and predict economic results from process deviations.
