We study, manage and control microbial biofilms in these situations: (1) biofilm interactions with host and environment (2) development of biofilm control strategies (3) biofilm engineering in resource recovery and bioremediation Representative Publications • Chem Engin J, 2023, 453, 139595 • Lancet Microbe, 2022, 3(1), e7 • Food Microb, 2022, 102, 103914 • J Haz Mat, 2022, 431, 128572 • ISME J, 2022, 16, 1388-1396 • J Hos Inf, 2022, 127, 26-33 • Chem Engin J, 2022, 447, 137579 • Environ.
