Description:
The thesis concerns the study and development of a space adaptive greenhouse that can make optimal use of two of the most limited resources in space, the volume and energy available. The study, which may have an impact on vertical greenhouses on Earth, concerns several research topics, such as scheduling algorithms, optimization and control of available volume, thermo-hygrometric control, numerical simulations, etc. The research is also in collaboration with Space V, a spin-off of University of Genoa that designs solutions for situations of scarcity of resources - water, energy, volume, as encountered in space missions.
