Personal profile

Short presentation

My field of work deals with biomass and bioenergy. Since I graduated in 2017 in Biotechnology, I have been involved with several industrial relevant green technologies. I have worked with Claus Felby on finding more sustainable methods to deal with chitinous waste streams (fx. crab and shrimp) on collaboration with Njorth_bio. I have also been working on the development of a high-throughput enzyme assay in connection with the establishment of 2G bioethanol plant (Maabjerg Energy Center). 
I am currently working on developing biomass-based marine fuels in collaborations with Mærsk.
