Professor, School of Engineering and Advanced Technology of Massey University
Professor Benoit Guieysse, School of Engineering and Advanced Technology of Massey University, holds a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering (ENSIACET, France, 1996) and a PhD in Engineering from the Department of Biotechnology of Lund University, Sweden (2002). His research bridges the frontiers of environmental microbiology (the study of microorganisms and microbial communities) and environmental biotechnology (the design, modelling and scale-up of environmental bioprocesses). Current research projects include the characterisation and modelling of bio-energy production and biological wastewater treatment with special emphasis on algae-based bioprocesses and dairy effluent management.
