Biography

Yuemei Lin is an Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology, specializing in biotechnology. Her research focuses on the extraction and characterization of extracellular polymers (EPS) from microbial aggregates, including flocculant sludge and granular sludge biofilms. She aims to understand the role of EPS in microbial aggregates formation and the implications for reactor operations. Her work also includes recovering EPS from waste sludge to convert it into useful materials. With a commitment to sustainability, Dr. Lin advocates for the transition to a circular economy, emphasizing optimized resource recovery through bio-based alternatives to existing fossil-fuel-based polymers. She teaches a course called "Biobased Materials in the Circular Economy" which is designed to help students recognize the importance of recovering and converting bio-based materials from waste products, such as excess biomass from biological processes.
