Title: “Microbial Electrochemical Systems: fundamentals and applications“
Associate Professor Annemiek ter Heijne, Environmental Technology, Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands. A. Prof. Annemiek ter Heijne is Former President & Fellow and active member of ISMET– the International Society of Microbial Electrochemistry & Technology. Her research interests include: microbial electrochemical technologies, microbial fuel cells for electricity production, capacitive electrodes for microbial fuel cells, microbial electrolysis cells for production of methane from CO2, bioanodes for conversion of wastewater into electricity, biocathodes for oxygen reduction, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and renewable energy technologies.
See publications.
The Organiser/Chair of this event is:
Dr Sharon Velasquez Orta is a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Newcastle University and leads the EBNet Working Group “Bioelectrochemical Development for Environmental Technology“. She has used a multidisciplinary approach to address current world challenges in areas related to sustainability, waste biomass valorisation and effective water management, with a specific focus on understanding waste biomass transformations. She has investigated how microorganisms can enable energy production, water monitoring and wastewater treatment across multiple applications. Her research over the past 10 years has focused in the development of novel technologies such as bioelectrochemical systems (BES) for waste treatment. To this aim, she has partnered with International Universities and Companies to enable technology field testing and deployment.
This latest webinar is brought to you by the EBNet Working Group “Bioelectrochemical Development for Environmental Technology“. Contact Dr Sharon Velasquez Orta to participate.
