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.

Apply sensor-based monitoring and control systems to assess key performance indicator analytes within full scale Anaerobic Digestors
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.
