Research
Renewable Resources are a basic element of bioeconomy. They can also be a sustainable alternative to fossil energy and contribute to several ecosystem services. Somehow, research on biobased products often starts at the processing point but there is huge potential for agricultural research at the point of plant cultivation. That is why I focus on cultivation, management and optimisation of the plants at it is in line with the motto "from plants to products". In doing this, conventional agricultural practices are combined with modern techniques such as phenotyping or hyperspectral analysis of the plants. As a result, a fundamental understanding of the plants and their cultivation in regard to the desired products is gained.
Research interests:
Sustainable agriculture
Material use of biomass plants
