PhD Position in Decoding Environmental History from Microorganisms for Living Sensors and Memory Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in living sensors, microorganisms, machine learning, computer vision, biodesign, and interaction design . This PhD project explores how microorganisms can encode environmental history and how that biological record can be decoded from images. The research aims to support future battery-less, biodegradable sensing systems that could replace disposable electronic dataloggers. The candidate will cultivate living organisms, characterize th...

Wageningen University & Research is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on green façades , urban biodiversity , ecology , and building insulation . The BIO-SKIN project (Bio-Inspired Outer Surfaces to Kool, Insulate and Nurture) develops bio-based, waste-derived, circular façade systems that integrate plant growth to keep buildings cool, improve insulation, support biodiversity, and contribute to more sustainable urban environments. The PhD research will focus on how plant-soil-insect inter...
