Saccharomyces yeast is an outstanding model eukaryote for research and a workhorse of fermentations. Advanced techniques in microbiology, genetics, ecology and analytical chemistry will be used to deepen our understanding of yeast’s coevolution and interactions with other organisms, how it benefits from these and could be tailored for various bioprocesses.
This PhD is a sought after industrial Cooperative Award in Science and Technology (iCASE), with sponsorship from BAE Systems Ltd. This PhD will develop advanced materials and turn these into thermoelectric energy harvesters. These harvesters will be integrated into clothing as wearable tech, scavenging our very own body temperature as the energy source.
In this project, you will study and explore the entire computational chain, exploring the interaction of classical dimensionality reduction methods with subsequent quantum encoding strategies, coupled with efficient quantum machine learning performed on the low-dimensional, encoded state.
