Heiko Wagner

Dr. Heiko Wagner is a Senior Scientist at the University of Leipzig, affiliated with the b-ACTmatter Research and Transfer Center and the Algae Biotechnology department. His work focuses on the measurement and modeling of CO2 and energy balances in microalgal cultures, as well as the development and evaluation of bioreactors for algae-based platform chemicals and biogas production. With over 20 years of experience, he contributes to advancing sustainable biotechnological systems.

His research aligns with projects like REPLACER, LivMat, and BIOWIN, which aim to create hybrid living materials and circular economy technologies. These initiatives emphasize CO2 capture, biofilm engineering, and resource-efficient chemical production. Despite the institute's closure in 2023, his ongoing role at the university suggests continued involvement in these fields.
