About
I am lead scientist in the area of Biopolymers and Biocomposite. Manager of national and international projects. This includes the initiation of new projects, customer relationship management, follow up of ongoing projects, scientific coordination and networking.
I have strong background, competence and experience within various of scientific topics, including biology, chemical engineering, lignocellulosic biomass and products, convertion and 3D printing technologies.
In my spare time, I support chess initiatives.
Chess strengthens concentration, patience, and strategic thinking. It promotes problem-solving, a sense of achievement, and cooperation in a safe and motivating environment.

Cellulose is a biopolymer consisting of long chains of glucose with unique structural properties whose supply is practically inexhaustible. It is found in the cell walls of plants where it serves to provide a supporting framework – a sort of skeleton. Nanocellulose from wood – i.e. wood fibers broken down to the nanoscale – is a promising nanomaterial with potential applications as a substrate for printing electronics, filtration, or biomedicine.
