BioLaMer project partner Monesh Kumar Thirugnanasambandam from NOVAID FCT, represented the project at the 12th European Symposium on Biopolymers (ESBP 2025). The symposium was held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 1–3 October 2025, bringing together leading researchers and industry experts in the field of biopolymers and sustainable materials.
Digitalization of Sustainable Biopolymer Production
At the symposium, Monesh presented an engaging poster entitled “Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) Framework for Batch-to-Batch Control of PHA Production.”

The poster showcased an innovative physics-informed neural network (PINN) approach developed within the BioLaMer project to enhance batch-to-batch control of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production.
His presentation highlighted the PINN methodology contributes directly to efficient and sustainable biopolymer production, aligning with BioLaMer’s broader objectives of advancing digitalization and sustainability in bioprocessing.
