• design and implement deep neural, probabilistic and hybrid symbolic‑learning models for real‑time sensor fusion, anomaly detection and latent state estimation in dynamic bioreactor environments
• adapt and extend large language models and symbolic reasoning tools to interpret domain‑specific process logs, design predictive diagnostics, and support explainable decision‑making pipelines for bioprocess engineer
• collaborate with industry partners and domain experts to curate multimodal process data, design validation experiments, perform simulation studies and iteratively refine models for real‑world deployment
• explore reinforcement learning and simulator‑based inference strategies for adaptive feedback control and trajectory tracking in bioprocesses with high uncertainty and complex dynamics
• drive high‑impact open research: contribute to open‑source toolkits, co-author peer‑reviewed conference and journal publications, present results internationally, and mentor junior students—laying the groundwork for a visible scientific profile
