Notă biografică

Alok Kumar Patel, PhD, is working as a senior researcher in Biochemical Process Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, Lulea, Sweden to produce nutraceuticals from oleaginous microalgae. He finished his master's degree in biotechnology in 2011 and joined as a research assistant in Food Borne Infection Surveillance Unit, (Global Disease Detection India Center) CDC, USA in collaboration with National Center for Disease Control, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. He got his PhD in Biotechnology from IIT Roorkee in 2017. His research interest is mainly focused on the development of biotechnological processes for conversion of organic matter to bioenergy, biofuels and biochemicals, process optimization, pretreatment of biomass, nutraceuticals and value-added products from microorganisms, and biorefineries.
Leonidas Matsakas, PhD, is working as an assistant professor in the Biochemical Process Engineering group at Luleå University of Technology. He received his PhD in Biotechnology from the school of Chemical Engineering at National Technical University of Athens in 2015. After that, he joined the Biochemical Process Engineering group of LTU as postdoc fellow and later became senior lecturer at the same group. His research interest is focused on developing biomass biorefinery processes, inclusing establishing novel pretreatment and fractionation technologies for the fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass to cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and the conversion of these streams to biofuels, biobased chemicals and biomaterials via biochemical and thermochemical routes.
