Grow Cells have the potential to change the way that we produce our food crops, reducing the carbon footprint and natural resources used. When compared to conventional greenhouses, the energy requirements, water consumption and carbon emissions are lowered in an optimally designed system. However, challenging research problems remain, including cooling and dehumidification, artificial lighting, the impact of different crops, and the modelling/control of micro–climatic variables. In addition to obtaining a high quality university qualification, you will gain experience of working with a fully committed industrial partner. Applicants should have an excellent first degree in engineering (or a related discipline).
