A brand new doctoral training course offered by IMI and ED 353!

Following our fundamental studies on the precession of the earth, we have patented a new type of bioreactor that mixes strongly while minimizing the shear rate. We are currently adapting these bioreactors for the growth of micro-algae and stem cells at our start-up Planktovie.

Speakers for this Training :

  • Patrice Meunier (CNRS, AMU, IRPHE)
  • Olivier Detournay (Start Up Plantkovie)

IMI/ED353 doctoral training schedule

Theoretical course 09/06/22: 9h-12h30

  1. Cell production in biotechnologies (45min)

  2. Fluid mechanics of a geoinspired mixer (45min)

  3. Break (30min)

  4. Mixture characterization (45 min)

  5. Application to a bioreactor for microalgae (45 min)

Practical work on 10/06/22: 9h-12h

  • Mica particle visualization and PIV flow measurement

  • Visualization and LIF measurement of scalar mixing (mixing time, Batchelor thickness, aggregation)

  • This training will allow registered students to be credited with 6H of doctoral training.

  • Event postponed to next fall (2023)
