Alin Cristian Nicolae Vintilă is a Scientific Researcher 3rd degree at the National Institute for Research & Development in Chemistry and Petrochemistry – ICECHIM, Bucharest, Romania, and holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering. Working within the Alternative Bioresources and Biofuels research team, his research focuses on process intensification, heterogeneous catalysis, and the circular valorization of biomass and residual resources. His experience spans microwave and ultrasound treatments for enhanced microalgal cultivation, selective recovery of valuable biocompounds, development of supported iron catalysts for light olefin production through Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, and biological and thermochemical conversion of residual biomass. Key Areas of Expertise: Microalgal cultivation and valorization of nutrient-rich residual streams; application of microwave and ultrasound treatments to enhance biomass growth and lipid accumulation; UAE and selective recovery of lipids, fatty acids, carotenoids, and other bioactive compounds; process optimization using RSM; preparation, activation, and testing of supported iron catalysts for C2–C4 olefin production through Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, including ultrasound-assisted impregnation and evaluation of support and promoter effects; pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and solid digestate for biochar production; anaerobic digestion and co-digestion of microalgal biomass and organic residues for biogas production.
