SERVICES
Enhanced performance in significant areas such as bioindustry, medicine and wastewater treatment can be achieved by using ultimate monitoring and control methods.
Bioprocesses are complex systems, characterised by non-linearities, delays, certainties and lack of cheap and reliable sensors.
The modelling, identification and control of such processes can be done by using interdisciplinary approaches (control systems, biochemistry, mathematics, informatics).
RESEARCH TOPICS
