Travel Award
We are pleased to announce the two winners of the 2019 Fermentation Travel Awards for Junior Investigators, who will be supported with 500 CHF each towards their travel expenses to attend an international conference of their choice in 2019.
The 2019 Fermentation Travel Awards have been granted to:
Dr. Heinrich Kroukamp, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Macquarie University, North Ryde, Australia. His research focuses on the tailoring of yeast protein secretion to allow for increased production of industrially valuable proteins and expanding the substrate range of yeast for biofuel production.
Ms. Joana Resende Ortigueira, a PhD student in Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL) and the National Laboratory for Energy and Geology (LNEG), Lisbon, Portugal. Her research focuses on the evaluation of food waste and its valorization through dark fermentation systems, production of bio-hydrogen and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from food waste, and scale-up and development of continuous production systems.
We would like to thank all the Scientific Committee members for their evaluations of the candidates, as well as all those who participated in the travel award competition.
