About

I have 10+ years of industrial experience in developing sustainable processes to produce value added products. Some examples include biofuels such as ethanol and hydrogen, terpene ingredients used in flavors and fragrances and platform chemicals such as succinic acid.

Research interests include microbial biotechnology, fermentation process development and optimization, bioprocessing.
