Project Title: Electronic enhancement of bio-photosynthetic systems
Project Description:The PhD project aims at conceiving, developing, and characterizing engineered bio-photosynthetic systems consisting in photo-synthetic organisms interfaced and integrated with (organic, inorganic and hybrid) nanoparticles. The final goal is to fabricate enhanced and hybridized bio-photosynthetic systems that will lead to enhanced crop and biomass productivity as well as to boast new Agri-Tech markets, by envisioning new precision-farming approaches, combining remote sensing techniques (i.e., monitoring the lack of nutrients or the drop in photosynthesis in plants) with targeted application of photosynthetic boosters with corresponding nutrients.
