Jeppe Kari

Jeppe Kari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Science and Environment Chemistry at Roskilde University. His research focuses on biophysical chemistry, particularly biocatalysis and interfacial enzyme kinetics. He aims to bridge inorganic heterogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis to advance heterogeneous biocatalysis as a field. His work emphasizes understanding enzyme behavior at solid-liquid interfaces and optimizing enzyme systems for industrial applications.

Key research areas include enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose, Sabatier principle applications, and computational methods for predicting enzyme activity. Collaborations span international institutions, as indicated by his network of external research partners.

His publications highlight advancements in enzyme kinetics modeling, substrate interactions, and enzyme engineering. Notable contributions include studies on cellulase efficiency limitations, ITC analysis of polydisperse systems, and virtual bioprospecting of interfacial enzymes. Kari’s lab integrates computational and experimental approaches to address challenges in biocatalytic processes.

Education: Holds an MSc and PhD in relevant fields (specific institutions not detailed in text). No awards or grants explicitly listed. Advises on projects related to cellulase optimization and enzyme kinetics. Maintains a research website at www.jeppekari.com.
