Futur·e stagiaire
agro | Louvain-la-Neuve
Tu souhaites réaliser un stage ?
La Faculté des bioingénieurs accueille des étudiant.es stagiaires, financés par une bourse ERASMUS+ ou autres, venant d'autres institutions d'enseignement (qu'elles soient ou non partenaires via une convention d'échanges). Ces stages ont une durée variable et ne sont pas rémunérés.
Quelle est la procédure à suivre ?
- Tu dois d'abord prendre contact et trouver un professeur qui pourrait t'accueillir dans son équipe de laboratoire.
Consulte la liste des Professeur·es de la Faculté ainsi que leurs spécialités, tu trouveras leurs coordonnées sur notre répertoire.
- Ensuite, pour établir une convention de stage, il faudra que ton université d'origine nous communique :
- La durée du stage
- Si le stage est crédité ou non ?
- Si oui, quelle est la méthode d’évaluation
- Une fois le promoteur trouvé, tu reviendras vers nous pour la convention de stage à signer par toi et ton université au minimum un mois avant ton arrivée en Belgique.
Attention, les stages effectués dans la Faculté ne sont pas rémunérés.
Quelques exemples de thématiques proposées par la Faculté des bioingénieurs
Title : Optimal placement of corals restoration projects to enhance reef resilience
Description: In this project, we will use a high-resolution biophysical dispersal model to study the connectivity of several common coral species in the entire Florida Reef Tract (www.coris.noaa.gov/portals/florida.html). The connectivity matrix will then be used to develop a metapopulation model for the Florida Reef Tract to assist in the selection of sites for coral restoration.

Description : We aim at establishing a microbial electrosynthesis process (= modification of microbial metabolism by supplying reducing equivalents using a cathode) in order to ensure the elongation of short chain carboxylic acids to longer chains. The research will focus on the conditions required to induce the elongation of acetic (C2) and butyric (C4) acids to higher caproic acid (C6). The experimental research includes the design and operation of the experimental device (electrochemical and biological reactor), chemical analyzes to control the process, and investigation of the influence of operating conditions (potential, current, etc.) on the conversion efficiency, with the prospect of optimizing the process.

Description : Several fermentations make it possible to convert biomass (agricultural and agro-industrial products and residues, livestock manure, sewage sludge, etc.) into renewable chemicals (green chemistry) or biofuels. We are interested in acidogenic fermentation to produce molecules such as ethanol, short-chain (C2-C4) carboxylic acids, lactic acid, from complex substrates and natural microbial communities themselves. The general objective of the research is to optimize the design and control of the fermentation process to specifically desired products.

Description : Research topics in agricultural and resource economics mainly cover (1) agricultural and trade policy, (2) environmental economics and policy, and (3) development economics and policy.
To study these three thematic fields, theoretical and applied modeling tools are designed and developed using a microeconomic approach.

Title : Development of egg yolk with dedicated health promoting effects
Description : We have been able to design a new feed formula for laying hens that allows the production of egg yolk with unconventional lipid profile. These eggs may contribute to delaying the onset of chronic diseases or even to act in disease treatment in a synergic way with drugs. At present stage, the project comprises different complementary approaches including (1) optimization of the feed formula, (2) development of an UPC² analytical method for the analysis of nutrients in egg yolk, (3) effect of yolk storage and industrial processing on nutrient stability, (4) effect of culinary use on yolk lipid profile, (5) evaluation of biological effects on human cell lines, (6) evaluation of health-promoting effects in different animal models (zebrafish, mouse), (7) acceptance tests in humans, (8) bioavailability tests in human volunteers, (9) evaluation of impact on a targeted chronic disease in human volunteers.
