Ioannis Dogaris is a research scientist in biology and chemical engineering, specializing in bioprocesses for sustainable bioenergy, chemicals and materials. Ioannis holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering-Biotechnology from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, and an integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Biological Applications and Technologies from the University of Ioannina, Greece.
Currently, as an R&D Director at the Stockholm-based company Volta Greentech, Ioannis is leading research programs to develop a natural seaweed-based feed supplement that reduces methane emissions from cows. Previously, as a researcher at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Ioannis explored processes for recovering byproducts from forestry and pulp and paper industries and converting them into bio-based materials and coatings for packaging and biomedical applications. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Patel College of Global Sustainability, University of South Florida (USF) he focused his research on algae and biomass technologies for sustainable and cost-effective production of biofuels and bioproducts, and managed the Biofuels and Bioproducts Lab. Previously, Ioannis has been involved in cellulosic and macro-algae biomass-to-ethanol projects at NTUA.
As an instructor at USF, Ioannis developed and delivered a new graduate-level course on ‘Bioresources for a Sustainable Future‘. He has authored several peer-reviewed articles, and presented his research at national and international conferences.
