Biography
David Roberts current role lies with the Centre for Macroalgal Resources and Biotechnology I lead the Biomass Scale Up Demonstration subprogram within the Macroalgal Biofuels and Bioproducts project. This program focuses on demonstrating and delivering on-site remediation of aquatic waste streams, particularly from mineral processing industries and power stations. The project aims to optimise macroalgal biomass production and bioremediation at scales that are relevant to industry needs.David Roberts current role lies with the Centre for Macroalgal Resources and Biotechnology I lead the Biomass Scale Up Demonstration subprogram within the Macroalgal Biofuels and Bioproducts project.
