Scientific interests and competences
My university education is a physicist, but I started working at the Institute of Microbiology already during my studies. There, my research involved bioreactors, with a particular focus on mixing. In this way, I gained competence in bioreactors and their applications. And if I am asked now what my profession is, I answer that I am a bioengineer. My scientific interests are related to the following issues of bioreactors:
- mixing
- mass exchange
- automation
- new types and designs
- applications in the extraction of new products and environment protection
Additional information
While still working at the Institute of Microbiology, I created the first prototypes of bioreactors together with my colleagues. In 1996, I founded the company Bioreactors.net Ltd. (earlier name Biotehniskais centrs) and the development and production of bioreactors was started on commercial principles. Starting with the production of laboratory bioreactors, pilot-scale bioreactors were gradually mastered, and as development continued, several industrial biotechnology projects were realized. The tendency to be innovative was maintained in the production of bioreactors. This is confirmed by the patented new type of magnetic coupling mixer drive. Currently, bioreactors and magnetic coupling mixers are exported to 25 countries. And the view into the future is focused on new promising projects. See more information at www.bioreactors.net
