Margo Elzinga

Theme coordinator Sulfur

Biography

During my BSc, I studied environmental sciences with a strong focus on water technology. After obtaining a master’s degree in water technology, I started a PhD on bioelectrochemical thiol reduction and focused on biodesulfurization processes. Currently, I am working as theme coordinator and focusing on further understanding and optimization of the biodesulfurization process.
