Aquatic Ecosystem Modeling PhD Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research team at The University Of Illinois. This project focuses on developing innovative mathematical models to improve our understanding and projections of non-linear aquatic ecosystem processes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting the deployment of high-frequency loggers at Lake Ravn, Denmark, and conducting regular microstructure profiler measurements of turbulent mixing and fluorescence.
  • Curating high-frequency data from global sources to increase data volumes and quality-controlling the data to create a database of time-dynamic, depth-discrete water quality measurements.
  • Applying exploratory machine learning techniques to discover underlying relationships in the data and comparing these projections to state-of-the-art vertical 1D aquatic ecosystem models.

The selected PhD student will gain skills and knowledge in limnological field monitoring, data science, environmental fluid dynamics, phytoplankton ecology, and deep learning.
