Lars Angenent is a Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Tübingen (Germany) and a part-time Professor in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering at the University of Aarhus (Denmark). He is also a Max Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tübingen. He is the principal investigator in the Environmental Biotechnology research group at the University of Tübingen. He obtained his PhD at Iowa State University, and later worked as a postdoc at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Colorado Boulder. He moved to Washington University in St. Louis to work as an Assistant Professor, and then became an Associate and Full Professor at Cornell University. Finally, he moved to the University of Tübingen where he works as a Professor, while leading the Environmental Biotechnology group. Throughout his academic career, Lars developed his proficiency in bioprocess engineering with microbes (biosynthesis of fuels and chemicals). The focus of his research group is on power-to-gas, power-to-protein, power-to-X, anaerobic fermentation, bioelectrochemical systems, and syngas fermentation. His extensive expertise in these areas will be a very valuable asset for the success of this project.
