In 2008, he received his Post-doctoral degree and, he received the title of Professor in 2013 He has been the supervisor of two domestic projects: (1) Influence of natural elicitors on nutraceutical potential of wheat sprouts and evaluation of bioaccessibility in vitro and thermostability of bioactive compounds. (2) Preparation of fiber preparation from the husk and fruit-seed coat of oats using innovative hulling and grinding technologies. And he also acted as the main constructor of one foreign and five domestic projects (Polonium). Moreover, he has been awarded 12 times for scientific activity by the Rector of Agriculture University in Lublin, among other things, receiving the award for the publication with the largest number of citations and the publication with the highest impact factor. His main area of research is Food processing, including drying, milling, grinding, baking, pasta production, food fortification, and food powders production.
Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark;Professor in industrial fermentation technology ("The Novozymes professor") at the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering since January 2013. The focus of him work is the modeling, development and optimisation of industrial fermentation, biocatalysis, pharmaceutical and food production processes. Central topics in his current work are the application and development of computer-aided tools for elucidation of (bio)process kinetics, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis methods, data-driven modelling and chemometrics (Process Analytical Technology – PAT), continuous production processes, process monitoring and control applied to bioprocesses, and investigation of mass transfer issues related to the characterisation and development of novel and existing processes and bioreactor types, ranging from microbioreactors to full-scale fermentors.

Meet Our Speakers
Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems, Belgium;Prof. Dr. Ir. Tom Van Gerven is professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering of KU Leuven (Belgium). His research focuses on process intensification, in particular by the use of external and localised energy sources (ultrasound, light), to improve transport phenomena (mass and energy transfer, mixing) and chemical activation with the aim of resource efficiency and recovery. Fields in which these energy sources have been applied include solvent extraction, crystallisation, leaching, metal purification and CO2 valorisation. Another area of process intensification is the integration of different processes, where the group has worked on integrated hydro- and pyrometallurgy flow sheets and mechanochemical activation. In general the developed technologies are applicable to chemical synthesis and environmental applications.
Pro-Deo Consultant, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany;Trained as a chemist with focus on Theoretical Chemistry, and a PhD in experimental low temperature physics, the author subsequently became an expert in Physical, Analytical and Computational Chemistry, High-Throughput Experimentation and Data Management, along with a good understanding of Process Technology. Formerly working for the Dutch chemical and materials company DSM) (1985-2019) in a larger variety of roles, and having been an Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of York, U.K., for almost 20 years, and a Visiting Scientist in the Research Center Juelich, Germany, after retiring Robert J Meier is now active as an independent scientist.
