Research Title: Optimization and Monitoring of Fed Batch Fermentation

To minimize the effect of catabolic repression, fermentation processes are operated in fed batch mode using complex media. Due to lack of reliable process models, model based feeding recipes have not been reported. We optimize the feeding recipe in complex media and solve this using quadratic programming. Strategy is to develop optimization of fermentation processes for which reliable process models are available.
