The inaugural professorial lecture of Professor Godfrey Kyazze.
About this event
Professor Godfrey Kyazze will reflect on his research career into sustainable biotechnologies in the areas of bioenergy production and (waste)water treatment and look forward to the next steps and future work.
About the speaker
Professor Kyazze is a leading academic in sustainable biotechnology at the University of Westminster, where he co-leads the Sustainable Biotechnology Research Group and co-coordinates the Biotechnology Research Internship Scheme. With a background in Industrial Chemistry from Makerere University, Uganda, he pursued further studies in the UK, earning an MSc (Batch Process Engineering) from Loughborough University and a PhD (Bioprocess Engineering - Fermentative Hydrogen Production) at the Sustainable Environment Research Centre, University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales).
Professor Kyazze's research centres on advancing and optimising Microbial Electrochemical Technologies, such as microbial fuel cells, to address environmental contamination, treat (waste)water, and recover valuable resources such as bioenergy (electricity, biomethane) and bio-based chemicals. Funded by agencies like The Royal Society, The British Council and Innovate UK and collaborating with industrial and international partners, Professor Kyazze's projects aim to address global challenges such as SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation and SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.
