Biography

Sepehr Shakeri Yekta is an Associate Professor and Head of the Division at Linköping University, specializing in the intersection of chemistry and microbial ecology. His research focuses on developing analytical approaches to resolve molecular complexity in carbon and nutrient materials, which are vital for effective biomass management. Yekta employs Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a primary analytical tool, advancing the understanding of biomass resources and their transformation pathways. His work aims to introduce new metrics and characterisation methods for molecular-level carbon management particularly in challenging contexts. He investigates nutrient dynamics within anaerobic microbial processes, focusing on chemical speciation of micronutrients to enhance carbon recovery and transformation. His research also explores the valorisation pathways of biomass residues, producing high-value products such as biomethane and biofertilizers. Yekta has led several significant projects in biogas production and environmental chemistry, contributing extensively to sustainable practices in managing organic waste and enhancing biogas yields.
