Research interests
Brazil has a great potential for use renewable raw materials in biorefineries. It is one of the largest producers of agricultural and animal commodities, which produce large amounts of residues and wastes. The studies for the use of lignocellulosic waste has been focused on the production of bioethanol. Thus, the knowledge developed in Europe for the production of biogas can contribute as an alternative energy production from the Brazilian agro-industrial waste. In nature only a few animals feeding on this rigid biomaterial have co-evolved with highly effective microbial consortia in their gut system and developed complete cellulolytic systems. Since these animals have higher biodegradation rates than anaerobic bioreactors.
Therefore, I am investigating the larvae gut system and transferring this knowledge to the next generation bioreactors for efficient biomass conversion to biogas.
Current research topic
My work focuses on the develop a nature-inspired biogas production process and to combine the multidisciplinary knowledge of zoology and physiology of wood feeding animals with microbiology of larvae gut systems and process engineering for biogas production.
