Final Year Project

Project Title

Mycelium Network Optimization in the Context of Karachi's Networks

Description

This is a novel research area of sorts. It focuses on fungi and their mycelium and analyzes the networks that are made by mycelium. We know that nature is the best example of networking and discipline that we can follow. This project follows mycelium in the presence of certain constraints to see the behaviour it would exhibit. We will then use this data to create our mathematical model of a network which will be connected to Karachi's transport network. This allows us to optimize Karachi's road network using mycelium and gives us the best possible routing plan for planning successful networking and transport in the city. The project involves biological experiments, mathematical analysis, graph building and software development for a final prototype.
