Dr. Andreas Bartl studied Technical Chemistry and Chemical Process Engineering at TU Wien, where he also received his PhD. After four years working in the pyrotechnics research & development and production industry, he returned to TU Wien. For almost 20 years, he has been at the Institute of Chemical, Environmental, and Bioscience Engineering within the Research Unit of "Mechanical Process Engineering and Clean Air Technology ". In 2012, he received the conferment of the right to lecture and the academic title "Privatdozent." Since returning to TU Wien, Andreas has worked in the broader field of fiber technology. In his research group, the dry grinding of (short) fibers and fiber characterization have been the focus of research activities. Andreas is a member of national and international organizations in the fiber processing chain (e.g. Austrian Fibre Institute, Global Fibre Congress) and waste management (e.g., IWWG, CEC4Europe).

Dr. Stefan Pflügl has 10 years of experience in the area of developing sustainable bioprocess solutions towards a biobased industry. Among others, he was part of a team that developed a bioprocess for valorizing crude glycerol from biodiesel production, which will be commercialized as a pilot plant by the involved industrial partner in 2020. The core competence of Stefan Pflügl is developing and optimizing bioprocesses to utilize industrial residual streams (e.g., gas streams containing CO2, residual streams from the pulp and paper industry, molasses, etc.) as a substrate for producing value-added chemicals. Furthermore, Dr. Pflügl has expertise in the field of microbial strain development and improvement. Since 2016, he has been a team leader for "Sustainable Bioprocess Solutions" in the "Biochemical Engineering" research area at TU Wien, responsible for 6 PhD students, 2 MSc students, and 1 technician.
