I have started off as working in a big industry-academia allied EU project with an industry oriented bio-based trade outlook as part of my PhD to evaluate the potential industrial application of tree based crops such as tobacco tree and poplar including the improvement and utilisation of renewable biosources. I then moved on to work on developing products on tree based applications within company Xylempor. Gradually, I started to work more and more with biobased projects as well as participating within various projects as residual feedstock expert.
All-together, i can offer the following expertise within my capacities:
Biobased project management
Residual feedstock expertise
Biochemical/biotechnical background, project set up and management
Writing project proposals to obtain funding, (for e.g. EU H2020, VLAIO)
Market analysis and prospection
Working with biobased products, improving their applications/function.
I can give a more scientific take and analysis on product/project processes.
I speak and write dutch (level 4 out of 5), but my main working language is usually english due to the projects i have been involved with. I have basic french understanding.
