[Past Projects]
Dr. Petra Gruber and Thibaut Houette
This project is about the use of fungi to solidify agricultural waste aggregate to solid materials that can be used for construction. The goal is to examine the currently used growth processes, and find out about improvements and practical solutions for small scale production, to produce materials and do a variety of tests on the properties. The research will be done in collaboration with phD student Thibaut Houette, and take place in the Biology labs. The student should be interested in fungi microbiology and their cultivation, and open to an interdisciplinary approach to develop biomimetic solutions.
