The research group Measure, Model, and Manage Bioresponses (M3-BIORES) headed by Prof. Daniel Berckmans is one of the leading groups at bio-monitoring and control together with research on imperfectly mixed fluids around living organisms. The research objective is to measure in an on-line manner biological responses of living organisms and their individual micro-environment and to predict their dynamic response in order to monitor and control their well being, health and performance.

Currently, there exists an open position as: Research Assistant – PhD Candidate

For one year with a global intention to complete a doctoral degree. The title of the project is:
Monitoring of ammonia emissions from agricultural structures

Project description and tasks:
Ammonia emission from agricultural structures is one of the current issues in environmental pollution debates. In an international consortium, M3-BIORES will apply an intermittent measurement technique where semi-continuous monitoring of ammonia emissions is possible in cheaper, robust, and reliable way.

Requirements:
He/She must have a master’s degree (agriculture, engineering, physics, mathematics, or another relevant field) and the ambition to obtain a PhD within 4 years. He/She must have an interest in the development and application of mathematic modelling techniques on living organisms.

He/She must be able to speak and write English fluently. Working knowledge of the MATLAB programming environment is an advantage.
