R&D

I am senior scientist at Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) currently working on electrosynthesis and resource recovery, specifically, the design and optimization of bio/electrochemical systems for CO2 conversion and microbial electrosynthesis. I have a PhD in environmental biotechnology and have 200 peer-reviewed publications (h-Index 78; >18500 citations), 6 books (edited), 6 patents and 40 book chapters to my credit. I am a member of scientific communities like ISMET (elected board member), ISE, BES, BRSI (Fellow), RSC (Fellow), IFIBiop and AMI. I am Editor of ‘Bioresource Technology Reports’, and serve as Editorial board member for the Journals: ‘Bioresource Technology’, 'ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering' 'iScience', ‘Scientific Reports’, ‘World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology’ and ‘Electronic Journal of Biotechnology’.

Feel free to get in touch about any research or collaboration query on CO2 conversion, gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs), microbial fuel cells, electrosynthesis, electroconversion and sustainable chemistry in general.
