Leendert Vergeynst is an Associate Professor at Aarhus University in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, specializing in Water Technology. His research focuses on bioanalytical chemistry and environmental engineering, particularly the development of novel bioanalytical methods for high-resolution bioprofiling of bioactive molecules and toxic pollutants in complex mixtures, such as micropollutants in wastewater. He employs effect-directed analysis, which involves linking chemical profiles with bioactivity to identify unknown chemicals that contribute to biological effects. Vergeynst is also engaged in biotechnologies aimed at micropollutant removal and resource recovery in the water-bioenergy nexus, highlighting the interplay between microorganisms and pollutants in water systems. His work includes the design of processes for optimizing the management of microbes and exploring various biochemical processes to enhance pollutant removal and resource recovery, including the production of bioenergy through innovative techniques such as hydrothermal liquefaction. His research contributes significantly to understanding and improving water treatment methodologies and sustainable practices in urban biorefineries.
