Dr Oihana Gordobil is a researcher in the Wood Modification group at InnoRenew CoE. She completed a bachelor’s degree in industrial chemical engineering and a master’s degree in renewable materials engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of Gipuzkoa, University of the Basque Country. In 2018, she earned her PhD in renewable materials engineering from the University of the Basque Country. In her research work, she focuses on lignin valorization, biorefinery processes, development and characterization of bio-based materials, bulk and surface wood treatments and exploration of new analytic techniques.
Dr Anna Sandak is the research group leader in Wood Modification at InnoRenew CoE and assistant professor and research associate at the University of Primorska. She has a PhD in Wood Science and M.Sc. in Biology. She has 15 years of experience in wood science, multi-aspect characterization of lignocellulosic materials, non-destructive techniques, and application of different spectroscopic techniques for the characterization of bio-based materials (modification/functionalization, degradation mechanisms, quality assurance, etc.). Her passion is to search for biomimetic solutions for the design of new materials and to promote knowledge-based use of bio-inspired materials in modern sustainable buildings.
Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr Anton Friedl is Head of the Research Division - Bioresources and Plant Science and Professor for Chemical Engineering at the Institute of Chemical, Environmental and Bioscience Engineering (TU Wien). He received his doctoral degree in 1990. He has extensive expertise in the development of sustainable processes such as biomass pre-treatment and production of lignin nanoparticles, as well as in process simulation and economic feasibility studies especially for bioconversion processes, fermentation, product recovery, and wastewater treatment. His main research interests include biorefinery process development and sustainable process engineering, thermal process engineering, process simulation and live cycle assessment. He has more than 200 scientific papers in reviewed international Journals.
InnoRenew CoE is a young and ambitious
institute focused on interdisciplinary
research in renewable materials, human health and the
sustainable built environment. Established in 2017, the institute is home to five complementary
research groups, Renewable Materials Composites; Human
Health in the Built Environment; Wood Modification; Sustainable Building with
Renewable Materials; and ICT in Renewable Materials and Sustainable Building, and a scientific enterprise
staffed and guided by international experts in the field.
