Personlig profil
Forskning
I am interested in developing biocatalysts combining computational methods and recombinant technology. I focus on understanding the relationship between the structure and function of proteins for the rational design of enzymes and engineering cells as living catalysts. These approaches have applications in environmental biotechnology, food technology, biorefinery, and the production of bioactive compounds. My research lines encompass the degradation of plastics, biosynthesis of biopolymers, valorization of lignocellulose biomass, and development of prebiotic and probiotic products.
Innovation: I am a scientific consultant for biotech companies in Sweden. I also co-founded CycleZyme AB, a company focusing on plastic recycling through deep biotechnology.
Undervisning
I am involved in teaching at all three academic levels. I am the course coordinator for Environmental Biotechnology (KBTF11) and co-coordinator for Bioprocess Technology (KBTF15) and Sustainable Chemistry & Biotechnology (KBTF06). Additionally, I provide lectures in Environmental Chemistry (KASF01) and Sustainable Food Processing and Packaging (KLGN65). Occasionally, I give training in the production of recombinant proteins and bioinformatic analysis of proteins for doctoral students who do not have a background in these areas.
