Biography

Martin Malthe Borch is a Biotechnological Engineer and Interaction Designer focused on researching syngas fermentations and co-cultures with an emphasis on microbial interactions supported by thermodynamic analyses. His broader interests encompass ecology, design, biological design principles, biomedia art, biofabbing, maker culture, DIY biology, and biohacking. Currently, he is engaged in a PhD project titled 'Microbial Communities Co-Cultures for Highly Selective Gas Bioconversions in Attached Growth Systems - GASBIO.' This project aims to discover, isolate, and analyze mixed microbial consortia to design co-cultures capable of converting syngas (H2, CO, CO2) into valuable fuels and chemicals while evaluating these processes from a techno-economic perspective. His research also aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, contributing to efforts to end poverty and protect the planet while ensuring prosperity.
