About me

I am always enthusiastic about the challenges face by our planet due to rapid globalization and industrialization (climate change, environmental and agricultural). Starting from my bachelor's degree to a current PhD, I've been working on organic waste valorisation using thermochemical processes by utilizing the problematic gases like flue gas or carbon dioxide. My goal is to make a genuine contribution to address the global threats to our planet

My research

My PhD project is about developing an integrated biorefinery approach by using novel techniques to improve process efficiencies and product characteristics. Mains stages include biochar production from CO2 pyrolysis, biochar utilization in the anaerobic digestion, and integration of the anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis processes.
