About me

My research focuses on the enzymatic conversion of renewable feedstocks to high added-value products, such as fuels and chemicals. The ultimate goal is to create novel, green and sustainable processes based on enzymes in order to facilitate the Green Transition towards a carbon neutral society.

Among my research interests are:

• Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS)
• Hydrogen chemical storage
• Plastics degradation
• Biomining of critical elements
• Plant biomass valorization and
• Life cycle analysis of bio-based products.
