Francis Kotoka

Francis Kotoka is currently a Bioscience Engineering PhD student at Ghent University. He attained his Erasmus Mundus MSc. Membrane Engineering degree at University of Montpelier (France), University of Toulouse III (France), University of Chemical Technology (Czech Republic), and Nova University of Lisbon (Portugal).

In 2021, he joined the RUSTICA PROJECT in which he focuses on combinations of conventional electrodialysis, bipolar membrane electrodialysis, and membrane contactors for selective and efficient separation of nutrients (NPK) and carboxylic acids from bio-based waste streams. This aims at closing the loop of circular economy targeting recovery, and valorization of wastes into bio-based fertilizers and chemical platforms such as H3PO4, HNO3, KOH, NH4OH, biodegradable polymers, and biofuels.
