Scholar-generated biography
Agnieszka Brandt-Talbot is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London. Her research focuses on the development of sustainable materials and processes for the circular economy, with a particular emphasis on lignocellulosic biomass, ionic liquids, carbon fibres, and plastic recycling. Her work explores the use of ionic liquids for the deconstruction of biomass, fractionation of lignin, and the design of low-cost ionic liquids for pretreatment processes. She investigates the structural changes in lignins and the mechanisms of lignin depolymerisation in acidic ionic liquids. Her research also includes the isolation of new microbial strains for biofuel production and the sustainable design of materials for a circular economy.
