Babak Arjmand

I am a PhD researcher at Tampere University, focusing on hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) as a method for sustainable biofuel production. My research aims to develop and optimize processes that convert biomass and organic waste into renewable energy sources and valuable chemicals. By advancing the HTL technology, I contribute to innovative solutions in the field of renewable energy and the circular economy, with the goal of promoting environmental sustainability and resource efficiency.

My work involves studying the underlying chemical and thermal processes in HTL, improving energy yields, and investigating the potential applications of the resulting bio-products. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to address critical challenges in bioenergy production and enhance the scalability of HTL technologies for industrial applications.
