Background
Mahsa Baniasadi is a research fellow with years of experience in R&D working in industry and academia on conversion of waste streams to energy and value-added product though chemical and biotechnological routes. Some projects she was involved with are metal recovery from solid waste, conversion of biomass to energy and bioremediation of water/wastewater contaminated with organic and inorganic pollutants. In 2023, her research in industry was recognised by "Best KTP Award in Changing the World Category" and "Time Higher Education Award for Knowledge Exchange/Trasfer Initiative of the Year" for her succes in bridging the gap between laboratory research and industrial commercialisation.
