OverviewMy current position is at the Industrial Biotechnology group at Chalmers University. Working within the Wallenberg Wood Science Center, my project focuses on wood-based niche products. Specifically, I am investigating how we can use enzymes to release multi-functional fatty acids from the bark of trees. A currently under-utilized resource readily.

Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden

OverviewComing out of my PhD, I realized that there is a significant gap in the research fields between enzymology/microbiology and wood chemistry. Trying to target this knowledge gap, I applied for a research grant from the Austrian Science Fund and got awarded a two years postdoc fellowship at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada). In my.

Madison, WI, USA

OverviewHosted by Dr. Chris Hunt, my time as a visiting researcher at FPL enabled me to complement my scientific expertise and complete my self-funded post-doc project (at UBC, funded by the Austrian Science Fund). ResearchIn this study, we applied advanced imaging techniques and computer-based image analysis as well as LC-MS/MS proteome analysis, to.

Lund, Schweden

OverviewDuring my time as research associate at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Lund Unversity, I was working at two projects. As main research focus, we worked at developing methods for wood fractionation - essential to valorize all three main components (lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose) in a biorefinery context. I further worked for 3 months.

OverviewI did my PhD at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering, Graz University of Technology (Austria), under the supervision of Prof Bernd Nidetzky. My 4 years position as university assistant encompassed both my own PhD research (60%), as well as lab organization, supervision of MSc and BSc students, and teaching of lectures and.

Göteburg, Schweden

OverviewDuring my PhD, I visited the Industrial Biotechnology group at Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg, Sweden). My primary goal was to expand my cultivation expertise towards more industrially-relevant, high solids-loading simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes. ResearchWe directly compared two S. cerevisiae strains.
