Our lab focuses on the biological treatment of wastewater and waste using various biological means. By integrating molecular biology analysis, AI-based predictive modeling and process control, we diagnose and optimize treatment processes. Through this, we enhance the stability and efficiency of biological processes for environmental management and sustainable energy production simultaneously.
