Joanna Sparks Email & Phone Number

I work with the Supergen Bioenergy Hub, and three of the BBSRC Networks in Industrial Biotechnology (the High Value Biorenewables Network, the Biomass Biorefinery Network, and the Carbon Recycling Network) as a Biomass Policy Fellow. My role is to act as a connection between the research community and policy makers working in areas relating to sustainable biomass supply and utilisation. I am passionate about the sustainable production of energy, chemicals, and materials, and the roles of scientific research and good policy in supporting this. Not only does my role as a policy fellow allow me to work in an interesting and complex field, but it requires me to continuously learn and develop my understanding, utilise my experience as a science communicator, and build relationships across academia, industry, and government – challenges which I relish and thoroughly enjoy.

Listed skills include Education, Chemistry, Food Science, Science, and 2 others.
