Mirjam Haensel

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mirjam Haensel serves as Dean of Bioprocess Informatics and Head of the Center for Beverage Dispensing Systems at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences. Her work bridges measurement technology with sustainable brewing practices, focusing on yeast behavior and beverage hygiene.

• Academic Leadership: Faculty of Bioengineering
• Key Research: Quorum sensing in industrial yeasts, flocculation mechanisms, and dispensing system optimization

Recent studies demonstrate her expertise in strain-specific microbial responses to signaling molecules like 2-phenylethanol, with proteomic and metabolomic analyses revealing differential yeast adaptations. This aligns with HSWT's mission of Research for a sustainable world, particularly in food industry applications.
