Dr. Omar Abdelaziz obtained his Bachelor's (2013) and Master's (2015) degrees from Cairo University, Egypt, and his Ph.D. (2021) in Chemical Engineering from Lund University, Sweden. His Ph.D. research focused on developing technologies for the thermochemical depolymerization of technical lignin into value-added chemicals. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the group of Prof. Christian Hulteberg at Lund University, where he continues to explore novel routes for lignin valorization. His research interests include biorefineries, biochemicals, process simulation and integration, and biomass valorization.
