I am a Research Scientist specialising in analytical chemistry, bioprocessing, industrial biotechnology, and the valorisation of agricultural waste. My work focuses on developing sustainable technologies that convert biomass and other waste streams into valuable products, including biopolymers, biomaterials, biofertilisers, and alternative protein sources. I am passionate about advancing the circular bioeconomy, supporting innovation and technology commercialisation, and mentoring emerging scientists. My personal mission is to use science and biotechnology to create practical, sustainable solutions that address environmental challenges while contributing to economic development and societal well-being.
