Tackling key societal challenges such as climate change and sustainable provision of energy, materials, water and food calls for innovations at both the technology level and the systems level. Through research in process systems engineering, we aim to develop concepts and approaches to enhance our understanding of these challenges from a systems perspective and to devise methods and tools for  holistic intervention. The environmental solutions we are interested in often involve the use of biological approaches which we strive to develop from a mathematical modelling perspective in collaboration with experimentalists.
