Adaptive LED frequency control for optimal plant growth

Plant photosynthesis is strongly affected by the frequency spectrum of the applied light. The optimal spectrum may be depended on various factors such as plant type, growth stage, temperature, soil moisture, air humidity, CO2 concentration and more.

In this project the student will use an experimental setup with real plants and investigate the possibility of constructing an adaptive environment where the photosynthesis is estimated by continuously measuring the consumption of CO2 while the frequencies of a LED array is automatically tuned to the most productive frequencies with respect to photosynthesis/watt.

The student will start with simulating the system based on a simple hill-climbing based optimizer.

The project is soil based.
