I will focus on chemical and chemoenzymatic extraction, modification and characterization of polysaccharides from brown seaweeds. Emphasis will be on developing processes and knowledge valuable for industrial processing. I have a passion for biomaterials and sustainable solutions that could help us reach a circular bioeconomy.
My PhD is part of The Norwegian Seaweed Biorefinery Platform, SBP-N, http://seaweedplatform.no/.
