Hello and goodbye
Stay updated on your newest colleauges in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, and on who we say goodbye to.
Hello to
Vladimir Koselka is employed as a PhD student in Jo Philips' research group, Microbial Electrosynthesis, in the section Bioprocess Engineering, from March 1, 2026.
Vladimir comes from the Netherlands, where he obtained a master’s degree in Life Science and Technology at TUDelft.
At BCE, Vladimir will work on computational modelling of microbial electrosynthesis processes. He will be part of the Microbial Electrosynthesis research group headed by Jo Philips (section of Bioprocess Engineering) and will be co-supervised by Jacopo Catalano, Pourya Forooghi (MPE) and Michael Kofoed. His project is funded by CORC.
Vladimir will be working at Gustav Wieds Vej. We are very happy to welcome Vladimir in our team!
Álvaro Lorente is employed as postdoc in Selin Kara's research group, in the Bioprocess Engineering section, from 01/02/2026. Alvaro will work in a close collaboration with Bekir Engin Eser's research team in the Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology section.
Álvaro is from Spain and previously held a postdoctoral position at the Autonomous University of Madrid, where he worked on enzyme discovery and engineering using microfluidics. He completed his PhD at Complutense University of Madrid, focusing on enzyme immobilization, kinetic modeling, and bioprocess development and simulation. At BCE Álvaro will contribute to the the DFF FTP Research Project 2, ENGREENIT, on ammonia production with nitrogenases.
We are looking forward to welcoming Álvaro in our Department.
Álvaro will be working at the Gustav Wieds Vej 10D building, in the Bioprocess Engineering, and Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology sections.
