About
Enthusiast. Nine years of experience in the design, set-up, operation, control, optimization, and digitalization of fermentation and downstream processes at lab, pilot, and industrial scale.
Strong mathematical background and wet-lab experience applied to chemical (bio)processes. Communicates efficiently and collaborates well with co-workers. Eager to take risks on innovative opportunities. Highly creative in analytically uncertain environments through efficient exploitation of soft-sensors and M&E balances.
Currently interested in the holistic integration of bioprocesses: from proof of concept to industrial manufacturing

Fermentation R&D consulting
Batch, Continuous, Fed-batch, Perfusion mode? Together, we can build a reliable, robust and scalable cultivation strategy for each operating mode to avoid surprises at larger scales. Whether it is early-stage explorative R&D, process intensification, or achieving late-stage Digital-Twin-ready estimation and control strategies, we will craft a plan that focuses on your tangible goals.
-
Scaling-up Consultant
Contrary to the popular belief that (3x) replicates means your process is ready for scale-up, it is taking controlled care of the growth and production stages in a bioprocess that unlocks true reproducibility. No feedback, no party. Let’s talk about de-risking your scaling-up operations
-
Bio-based downstream operations
Where Bioprocess, Chemical engineering and organic chemistry meet. From fermentation media design and its impact on the final product, together we can evaluate downstream operations in a way that is efficient and feasible at most scales.
