Konstantinos Kontogiannopoulos

About

Dr. Konstantinos Kontogiannopoulos graduated from the School of Chemical Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki - AUTh, Greece and holds a PhD (2011) in Chemistry and Technology of Natural products and Pharmaceutical Technology with emphasis on the utilization of bioactive natural products through innovative drug delivery systems (DDS). He has worked in the Greek pharmaceutical industry, as well as in Research Institutes. He is currently a Research Assistant in the Waste Management and Bioprocessing Laboratory/ Soil & Water Resources Institute/ ELGO-Dimitra. His research interests focus on the valorization of by- and co-products from agri-food industries, aiming to recover and utilize bioactive compounds. Furthermore, his research expands from advanced methods of management-processing and reuse of industrial water and wastewater streams and gas fermentation to the techno-economic evaluation of holistic biorefinery processes. Finally, he loves to use advanced statistical methods (such as the Design of Experiments) to organize and optimize all his experimental data. He has published 42 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals (8 as the first writer) and has participated in over 30 papers at international and Greek conferences (677 citations, h-index: 15). In addition, he has worked on 16 relevant research projects co-funded by the EU and Greece.
