Develop data governance and decision support systems to enable multi-actor decision making in multi-domain bioeconomy context (Blockchain)
Many bioprocesses struggle due to the lack of affordable, accurate, and fast monitoring tools. To address this, we are developing a biosensor platform with cost-effective sensors for real-time monitoring of multiple substances, along with machine learning models to improve the understanding and control of bioprocesses.PI: Dr. Fatameh Golpayegani and Dr. Joe Sweeney, Staff: Dorsa Samiee…

How to create a circular system in the agricultural sector and how to maximise productivity from terrestrial agriculture systems. This project aims to develop a scalable microalgae biotechnology solution for the valorisation of compost manufacture wastewater (or leachate or runoff) from Enrich Environmental primary production site at Kilcock, Ireland.PI: Ronald Halim, Staff: Felix Joel Brooke…

To run bioprocesses efficiently, we need real-time monitoring of substance levels. Currently, many bioprocesses lack affordable, accurate tools, leading to inefficiency. A new biosensor system is being developed with affordable sensors to detect specific substances, allowing real-time monitoring of multiple substances at once.PI: Dr. Joe Sweeney and Dr. Cormac Murphy, Staff: Ibrahim Waziri Zubairu (PhD)
