Ziran Su

Ziran Su is a Tenure Track Researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specifically affiliated with the PROSYS - Process and Systems Engineering Centre. Located at Søltofts Plads, Building 227, Room 039 in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, Dr. Su conducts cutting-edge research at the intersection of membrane technology, bioprocessing, and sustainable chemical engineering.

Dr. Su's research primarily focuses on:

• Membrane reactors for industrial applications, particularly enzyme membrane reactors
• Development and application of deep eutectic solvents for sustainable extraction processes
• Membrane modification using advanced materials like graphene and metal-organic frameworks
• Biopolymer extraction and processing, including PHBV and oligosaccharides
• Sustainable energy generation through pressure retarded osmosis

Analysis of Dr. Su's recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on sustainable chemical processes, with particular attention to membrane technology integration with novel solvents and materials. The research demonstrates significant contributions to green chemistry approaches for biopolymer extraction, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy generation. Key trends include the development of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents as sustainable alternatives to traditional extraction methods, innovative membrane modifications using 2D/3D materials, and optimization of enzymatic membrane reactors for various bioprocessing applications.

Dr. Su completed their PhD on "Membrane reactors for industrial applications" between December 2018 and April 2022 at DTU, under the supervision of Professor Manuel Pinelo and other faculty members. This foundational work established expertise in membrane reactor technology for oligosaccharide production.
