Feb 2018 - Oct 2020
Involved in an SFI fellowship project "Innovative energy technologies for biofuels, bioenergy and a sustainable Irish bioecomony (IETSBIO3)". The research is focused on the treatment of organic waste and increase the production of methane for the bioenergy sector. The research will deal with reactors from laboratory scale until industrial scale-up with cooperation from various Ireland industrial companies. My main project is focusing on lipid-rich wastewater remediation and degradation for bioresource recovery using conductive materials and pre-treatment methods. Show less
