Mariam Kholany currently works at GreenCoLab, specializing in biorefinery technologies. She leverages her expertise to advance new biorefinery processes and technologies for sustainable production and waste valorization, focusing on algae and marine biomass. Her responsibilities include managing collaborative and internal projects, academic partnerships, and research initiatives. She has been with GreenCoLab since just before completing her PhD in Chemical Engineering at CICECO, University of Aveiro (Portugal), which she finished in February 2024. Her doctoral thesis, titled "Towards Sustainable Marine Biorefineries: The Potential of Eco-Solvents," focused on developing sustainable biorefinery processes for resource efficiency and the recovery of bio-active compounds from marine biomass. Mariam earned her BSc in Biotechnology and her MSc in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology, both from the University of Aveiro. She has extensive experience in sustainable processes, including the extraction, purification, and characterization of biomolecules within a circular economy perspective. She has organized international conferences, workshops, and public exhibitions. She also managed a weekly lecture series for two years and has mentored several students. Mariam has published 11 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and has actively participated in several international conferences, entrepreneurship programs, and collaborative scientific projects.
