I am a microbiologist and biotechnology researcher with over 15 years of experience in industry-academic consortia, focused on sustainable biobased solutions, biomanufacturing, and climate-focused bioengineering. My work centres on cyanobacteria and microalgae as platforms for CO2 capture and conversion into valuable products, including recombinant proteins for pharmaceutical and other industrial applications. I am particularly interested in innovation-driven R&D, lab-to-field translation, and assessing the techno-economic feasibility of emerging biobased technologies for sustainable energy and materials production.
