Are you interested in industrial biotechnology? Do you wish to study food industry? Do you want to find a job in the field of environmental biotechnology? What if we tell you that artificial intelligence can be implemented in these areas? You do not believe this? We suggest you see for yourself by enrolling in a Master’s programme in Artificial Intelligence in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology.
The Master’s programme in Artificial Intelligence in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology was elaborated at South Ural State University by the School of Medical Biology in cooperation with OOO Napoleon IT, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Chelyabinsk Region, and OOO Soyuzpishcheprom Association.
The training in this area will allow you to develop professional competencies in the field of key artificial intelligence technologies used in industrial and environmental biotechnology. In the process of mastering the competencies, Master’s students are trained in methods of processing and analysing eco-monitoring data of the bio- and technosphere; using computer vision systems; the basics of robotics and artificial intelligence technologies based on Big Data processing.
Courses and disciplines studied under the programme:
-
Modelling of Micro- and Nanostructured Materials;
-
Monitoring of Biotechnological Production Processes Using AI Methods;
-
Scientific Approaches to Creating Functional Biomaterials;
-
Practicum on Eco-biotechnology in Industrial Production;
-
Industrial Biosafety and Human Ecology;
-
Industrial Microbiology in Environmental Biotechnology;
-
Industrial Waste Management;
-
Analysis of Biotransformation Processes Using AI Methods;
-
Diagnostic Sensors for Environmental Safety Monitoring;
-
Intelligent Data Analysis in Biotechnology;
-
Molecular Modelling in Biotechnology;
-
Low-carbon Biofuel Technologies;
-
New Technologies for Waste Bioremediation;
-
Seminar on Applying AI Methods in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology;
-
Sensory Evaluation of New Types of Bioproducts Using AI Methods.
In order to enrol in the programme, you should pass admissions examinations: testing and an interview with the manager of the Master’s programme.
During the process of training, you will learn how to:
– manage projects on creation, support and use of artificial intelligence systems in the field of industrial and environmental biotechnology;
– select and use modern methods for processing eco-monitoring data of bio- and technosphere;
– use computer vision systems (video monitoring of biotechnological processes, bioremediation processes, sensory evaluation of bioproducts);
– apply biosensors and test systems to perform various biotechnological tasks, intelligent control of microbiological and enzymatic processes;
– master artificial intelligence technologies based on Big Data processing (identification of enzymes, microorganisms and other elements of biotechnological systems and forecasting their properties in biotechnological processes);
– master the skills of conducting scientific research in the field of biotechnology.
Upon completing the Master’s degree programme, you can get a job at:
-
food industry enterprises: as specialists or technologists in processing organic raw materials based on the principles of zero-waste production;
-
agricultural enterprises: as specialists in deep processing of raw materials to reduce emissions and waste; specialists in the production of plant protection products and biofertilizers; specialists in the production of feed protein and other biological components of feed and premixes;
-
industrial enterprises: as specialists in wastewater treatment, bioremediation of industrial waste, and environmental monitoring.
