Biomath - Ugent

the research conducted at the biomath research unit focuses on the development and application of advanced techniques for modelling, optimisation and control of bioprocesses in order to support required decisions in their design and operation. the current fields of application are environmental biotechnology, fermentation technology, food- and feed biotechnology. however, they can span the entire range of bioprocesses. the research unit is currently structured in 2 groups: integrated systems and sludge-water separation. an important asset of biomath is the availability of a small laboratory in which computer-controlled experimental set-ups are used to test and validate the developed quantitative methods. for more elaborate experimental data, synergetic ties are sought with world-leading labs in experimental data collection. service provided by biomath is: assisting in the development of mathematical models by interpreting experimental results and combining this with in-depth knowledge
