Biography

I hold a PhD from the University of Dschang, Cameroon. I completed my doctoral studies under a joint supervision program between the University of Dschang (Cameroon), the Politehnica University of Timișoara (Romania), and Beijing Normal University (China). I am currently working as a Senior Lecturer at the University Institute of Wood Technology, University of Yaoundé I.I have carried out several postdoctoral research stays at the University of São Paulo (Brazil), the University of Padua (Italy), Ghent University (Belgium), as well as in Rostock and at Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany). My research focuses on chemical engineering and green chemistry. My current project addresses the energy transition and the circular economy through the development of sustainable catalysts derived from natural clay to enhance the yield of bio-aviation fuel production, as well as the evaluation of the environmental impact of the process through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). I have also worked on the bioconversion of waste into biohydrogen, biomethane, bioethanol, and biopolymers.
