Research
The department research encompasses all aspects of data analysis and mathematical modelling that surround the world of bioeningeers. This entails fundamental research to develop new methods and insights as well as applied research for concrete applications. The applications are usually the result of a multidisciplinary approach bringing bio-engineers and mathematicians together. Application domains range from water purification and raw material recovery to pharmaceutical production processes to citizen science, ecological studies and the processing of large amounts of molecular biological data for medical and agricultural research.
Professors of the department bring together expertises that can be devided into three main streams that are presented below, together with the research groups that shape our department. For more information about a specific research group, follow the link.
