معرفی
Largus Angenent is a Professor in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering at Aarhus University, under the AU Engineering school. His research integrates electrochemistry and biology for sustainable bioproduction and environmental biotechnology applications.
His research interests lie at the intersection of bioelectrochemistry, microbial electrosynthesis, and waste-to-value conversion. He focuses on developing microbial processes that convert CO2, wastewater, and renewable electricity into valuable chemicals and proteins. His work emphasizes reactor design, process optimization, and understanding microbial metabolism in engineered environments.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in renewable chemical production (e.g., lactate, caprylate), CO2-to-chemicals, bioelectrochemical systems, and anaerobic digestion. The studies span fundamental biochemistry to applied reactor engineering, often using mixed microbial communities or genetically modified strains to achieve targeted product formation from waste streams.
He is actively involved in research projects such as the Three-Magnitude Upscaling of the Microbial Two-Stage Power-to-Food Process and the 50% upscaling of the microbial two-stage CO2-to-protein process, indicating ongoing grant-funded work. These projects aim to scale up sustainable protein production using thermophilic acetogens and raw biogas as a CO2 source.
Largus Angenent leads research efforts in advanced bioreactor systems for sustainable biomanufacturing. His team works on microbial two-stage processes that integrate electrochemistry with biological conversion, particularly focusing on power-to-food and waste valorization technologies.
