Dr. ir. Quinten Mariën

Quinten Mariën is a bioprocess engineer and Postdoctoral researcher. He is fascinated by the potential of microbial technology in resource recovery and valorization from liquid and gaseous waste streams through fermentative processes. He holds a PhD in Bioscience engineering from Ghent University in which he focused on the characterization of novel CO2 fixating bacteria and on the development of reactor technologies for high-rate carbon capture and utilization. In his off-time, he enjoys nature, great food and the occasional good book.
