Sustainability assessment of biobased surfactants by fermentation and biomass transformation
Research Group:
Sustainable Industrial Engineering
This PhD project in collaboration with Holiferm Limited will assess the environmental impacts and techno-economic aspects of different types of biosurfactants, produced via a variety of pathways such as fermentation and biomass transformation, and compare these to traditional chemical surfactants in a consistent way – allowing for fair and even evaluation of the environmental profiles/benefits.

PhD: Co-fermentation in the whisky industry for sustainability and flavour creation
The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD) at Heriot-Watt University in association with the Scotch Whisky Research Institute (SWRI) are offering an IBioIC-Industry co-funded PhD project, expected to commence by 30th September 2022. Read more
Sustainable production of advanced synthetic fuels: innovative solutions using metabolic engineering, scaled fermentation and chemical processing
The development of biological routes towards advanced synthetic fuels (biofuels) addresses the challenge of reducing fossil fuel usage and is a step forward in accelerating the growth of the bioeconomy. Read more
Creating novel sophorolipid structures via biological transformation
Research Group:
Biochemical and Bioprocess Engineering
This collaborative PhD project with Holiferm Limited will investigate the post fermentation transformation of the sophorolipid biosurfactant molecule, generating novel structures with interesting and useful properties. Read more
Saving the planet through carbon recycling: engineering bacterial capture of gasified waste for bioplastics production
Climate change caused by the release of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and through change of land use threatens life on our planet. Read more
Graphene-enhanced bioplastics for sustainable packaging applications
Research Group:
Biochemical and Bioprocess Engineering
About the Project. This multidisciplinary project with industrial relevance and support, aims to develop novel technologies, for the development of biodegradable plastics – Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with enhanced properties through the use of graphene in various forms. . Read more
Novel beer brewing processes
Traditional beer production is one of the oldest biotechnology processes, however there is increasingly a demand for further innovation to create new and higher quality product lines as well as improved production economics. Read more
Volatile solvents from bio-platform molecules
Solvents are an extensive area of interest, with numerous publications looking at development of novel, bio-derived compounds. There is a pressing demand to expand the number of volatile bio-derived solvents which can easily be accessed through ether formation of protic platform molecules. Read more
Last chance to apply
Engineering metabolic pathways for optimal performance within host and biotechnological constraints.
Synthetic biology and microbial biotechnology offer sustainable routes to the manufacturer of commodity and high value chemicals from agricultural by-products instead of petrochemical feedstocks. Read more
The production of alcohols as commodity chemicals/ biofuels using yeast as a vehicle
Crude oil represents probably the most important natural resource to industrial nations. As well as fuel, crude oil is used to produce a host of chemicals that govern modern day life. Read more
AI/Machine Learning for chemical process monitoring and design in the manufacture of green chemicals
At Aberdeen, we have several lines of research around the manufacture of green chemicals. For example, we are building plasma catalysis reactors to reform biomethane and/or carbon dioxide into more valuable chemicals as part of a Leverhulme trust sponsored doctoral training centre. Read more
Prebiotics and synbiotics for human health - converting biomass into functional food ingredients
Prof. Rastall is interested in research in the area of prebiotic oligosaccharides, synbiotic combinations with probiotics and the impact of structure on the gut fermentation of carbohydrates. Read more
