Announcement of several fully funded PhD positions , Trinity College Dublin , Republic of Ireland

My research focuses on optimizing and developing sustainable environmental biotechnologies to fully harness the biochemical potential and metabolism of microbial communities for resource recovery (reclaimed water, energy, biochemicals) from waste streams. Environmental biotechnology and microbial ecology are naturally tied together. Understanding the microbial ecology of microbial communities is essential to harness their power for resource recovery fully. I work at the interface of microbiology, microbial ecology, and bioprocess engineering. My primary focus is to understand these water-related engineered ecosystems using advanced omics tools (metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, third-generation (long-read) sequencing), stable isotope analysis, molecular techniques, and mathematical modeling.
