We are delighted to announce that Prof. Selin Kara (Leibniz University Hannover; Aarhus University) has been appointed as a new Associate Editor in Green Chemistry.
Prof. Selin Kara received her Ph.D. in Bioprocess Engineering from Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), where she specialized in technical biocatalysis. Her PhD thesis focused on reaction engineering, online monitoring & modelling, and process optimization of enzymatic C–C bond formations. Following a postdoctoral position at TU Delft (2011–2013), she began her Habilitation in Molecular Biotechnology at TU Dresden. In 2015, she returned to TUHH to lead the Reaction Sequences group, completing her Habilitation in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering in 2018. Since July 2018, she has been leading the “Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing” Group at Aarhus University. In parallel, she has been the Head of the Institute of Technical Chemistry at Leibniz University Hannover since October 2021.
“My vision is to foster the integration of biocatalysis and process engineering to enable sustainable chemical synthesis guided by green metrics” – Selin Kara
