In general, we are aiming to develop new solutions to valorize biomass and waste to produce heat, electricity, and other products and achieve zero emissions or even negative emissions. The work mainly includes process modeling and simulations.
The postdoc researcher is expected to take initiatives, be creative and take responsibility. Furthermore, the tasks interact closely with industrial partners. Thus, the applicant needs to have high collaborative skills and be able to disseminate and communicate scientific results and knowledge within existing and new networks, which include academia, industry and society at large.
