Creating novel sophorolipid structures via biological transformation
Research Group:
Biochemical and Bioprocess Engineering
This collaborative PhD project with Holiferm Limited will investigate the post fermentation transformation of the sophorolipid biosurfactant molecule, generating novel structures with interesting and useful properties. Read more
Sustainability assessment of biobased surfactants by fermentation and biomass transformation
Research Group:
Sustainable Industrial Engineering
This PhD project in collaboration with Holiferm Limited will assess the environmental impacts and techno-economic aspects of different types of biosurfactants, produced via a variety of pathways such as fermentation and biomass transformation, and compare these to traditional chemical surfactants in a consistent way – allowing for fair and even evaluation of the environmental profiles/benefits.
