Summary
Nature has provided and will provide society and academics with a vast collection of evolutionary optimized processes and behaviours. Lignin biodegradation for example, an extracellular oxidative process characteristic of wood-degrading basidiomycetes has undergone a long evolutionary adaptation. The understanding of such functional mechanisms and the transfer into new sustainable process concepts has tremendous potential to be used as a pool for innovation in science and industry. My research interests focus on using and optimizing biological principles for further technical applications in the field of wood surface modification and wood protection.
