Project Title:

Scalable Process Development for Protein Extraction from Highly Concentrated Microalgae Broths

• Abstract:

The project Proteins4Singapore aims to address Singapore's aspiration to identify domestically grown protein-rich raw materials for the production of novel foods. Proteins4Singapore microalgae which can be grown in highly urbanized environments.

In this master’s/intern project, we will focus on processing microalgae to extract fractions high in protein from concentrated biomass slurries. To facilitate industrial-scale implementation, considerations for scalability and cost-effectiveness are paramount. The initial phase involves establishing a mechanical processing method for microalgae.

Further, microalgae cultures will undergo cross-flow filtration and continuous centrifugation for dewatering. To assess the impact of viscosity on the process, viscosity, and flow index values will be determined. For disruption, high-pressure homogenization will be used on differently concentrated microalgae solutions. The goal is to determine the maximum solid load of microalgae and assess disruption efficiency with increased solid loads.

Following the disruption, debris will be separated from soluble proteins through centrifugation and cross-flow filtration. Subsequently, these solutions will be separated from potential valuable co-products, while monitoring protein stability in highly concentrated solutions. Finally, cost efficiency and economic aspects will be evaluated.

• Applied Methods:

High-Pressure Homogenization, Micro- / Ultrafiltration, Protein Analytics, Rheometry, Centrifugation

Job Responsibilities:

1. Laboratory Work and Experimentation:

• Conduct hands-on experiments related to microalgae processing, protein extraction, and separation techniques.
• Collaborate with the research team to optimize protocols and methodologies.

2. Data Collection and Analysis:

• Analyze results using appropriate statistical tools and software.
• Summarize findings from scientific literature related to microalgae processing and protein extraction.
• Contribute insights from your research to project reports and your master’s thesis.

3. Collaboration and Communication:

• Present your research findings during team meetings.
• Actively participate in discussions with fellow researchers, and project leads.

Job Requirements/Competencies:

1. Educational Background:

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s program with a reputation university in fields such as Biotechnology, Bio-/Chemical Engineering, MINT (Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, Technology)
• Possess a Bachelor’s degree with a reputable university in relevant fields, including Applied Sciences, Food Science, Biotechnology, Chemistry or related areas

Job Description

This job aims to address some critical issues about realizing on-chip structured light field manipulation through inverse design. The main targets are threefold:

1. Understand in depth the inverse design in integrated photonics, and on-chip structured light. Explore new effects, novel phenomena, unique features, and high-performance devices based on inverse design structures. Research directions include high-performance topological photonics coupling and routing devices, all-optical logic and computing devices, etc.

2. Enhance the robustness of inverse design methods to accommodate lithography process errors and facilitate high-throughput manufacturing. Combining inverse design and new material platforms, the research results should be able to effectively provide useful guidance for the design of optical devices based on chalcogenide glass materials (such as GeSbSe) and phase change materials (such as SbSe), and develop new near-infrared, mid-infrared high-performance optical devices.

3. Find practical solutions, establish a unified paradigm for on-chip complex high-dimensional light field manipulation based on inverse design, and expand the application scope of inverse design. Explore the application of inverse design in topological photonics, structured light, and other fields. Finally, one or two prototypical designs should be experimentally demonstrated.

Considering the above research targets, the candidate should possess in-depth physical insights and interdisciplinary knowledge of inverse design, integrated photonics, chalcogenide photonics, structured light, topological photonics, mid-infrared photonics, SOI, etc.

Applicants with practical experience in the design, manufacturing and characterization of mid-infrared and near-infrared photonic systems are preferred.

Qualifications

1. PhD Degree in Physics, Photonics, Electrical Engineering or relevant area with a strong background in integrated photonics and inverse design.
2. Working experience in the field of inverse design, mid-infrared photonics, chalcogenide photonics, structured light, and optical logic gates.
3. Mathematics and specific knowledge required in electromagnetics, inverse design, chalcogenide photonics, phase change materials, mid-infrared photonics, and topological electromagnetics.
4. Technical proficiency:
a) theoretical and numerical modeling of inverse design structures and other physical systems with appropriate software;
b) cleanroom experience, such as lithography, film deposition, SEM, ICP, etc.;
c) optical measurements involving the transmission spectra, electric field and phase distribution, polarization manipulation and detection in various inverse design structures.
5. Candidate should have strong publication records in reputed International Journals in the field of inverse design and chalcogenide photonics.
6. Open to Fixed Term Contract
