Ph.D. Thesis

Ph.D in Chemical Engineering, Title of Dissertation: «Development of an integrated process for fermentative hydrogen production and anaerobic digestion of sweet sorghum biomass» (2006)

Research Interests

• Experimental design and development of innovative biochemical processes through fermentation, for treating and valorizing municipal, agricultural, and industrial waste/by-products and residual biomass, using mixed and pure microbial cultures. Development of bio-refineries.

• Mathematical modeling and optimization of anaerobic and aerobic biological production processes towards bio-products, using liquid and solid waste/by-products.

• Development and design of upstream physicochemical and biological processes for the pretreatment of agricultural residues
