The position is offered in relation to the research program "Offshore Drones and Robots Research Group" and the PhD Student will be positioned in the "Esbjerg section".

This PhD project centers on leveraging Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to optimize microbial fermentation processes. The research aims to tackle critical challenges such as microbial variability, sterility maintenance, and fluctuations in oxygen and nutrient supplies. The project involves developing sophisticated deep learning models to build accurate simulators and designing DRL algorithms for effective process control. The candidate will be responsible for data collection, preprocessing, and analysis, as well as training and validating models, and designing and optimizing DRL policies.

The applicant must provide and upload a proper project description, which describes the applicant's initial thoughts and ideas related to the specific project applied for.

The project description should have a length of 4-5 pages.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate focused on leveraging Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to enhance microbial fermentation processes. Responsibilities include developing and training advanced deep learning models and designing DRL algorithms for process control. Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, programming (Python), and experience with DRL are required. The ideal candidate should also know about time series modeling, language models (LMs), large language models (LLMs), control systems focused on DRL, optimization, data collection, sensing, and data analysis.
