Core skills include:
- Early phase process review and strategic analysis
- Development of integrated process designs, maximizing the impact of novel (bio-) catalytic discoveries in complete production concepts
- Regression and elucidation of fundamental performance of reaction, fermentation and separation steps
- Guidance research efforts to maximize learning and economic impact
- Techno-economic analysis of processes, translating complex technical detail into economic models and high-level summaries
- Dynamic simulation and flowsheet development in tools like Aspen Custom Modeler and gPROMS
- Process optimization, heat and water integration, data regression and statistical analysis
