I am experienced in bioprocess and fermentation development in industrial biotechnology. My experience spans both upstream and downstream technology with a focus on process integration of the primary product separation with the fermentation process, as well as both aerobic and anaerobic fermentations. My experience covers both early-stage proof-of-concept research, through to developing and advancing new fermentation technology for commercialisation.My background is in chemical engineering and I have an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) in Bioprocess Development from Newcastle University, industrial experience with Green Biologics Ltd., and further research experience from both the University of Southampton and the University of Nottingham.Competencies: Chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, industrial biotechnology, fermentation technology (upstream processing), reactor design, research and development, process development, process integration, process intensification, separation techniques (downstream processing), product recovery, process modelling (UniSim Design and Aspen HYSYS), project management, experimental design, data analysis.
