Microalgae (microscopic organisms that use light and carbon dioxide to grow) can be used to make ingredients and food for animals, pigments and potentially renewable fuels. But growing microalgae efficiently at an industrial scale is difficult.
My own research with microalgae began with their potential for biofuel production. I have been exploring how AI can help scientists scale up the growth of microalgae, particularly for the production of biofuel from microalgal species such as Chlorella vulgaris and Nannochloropsis oculata.
