Dr. Manel Nasfi holds a PhD in process and environmental engineering from IMT Mines Albi, France. She specializes in chemical engineering, focusing on renewable resource valorization and process optimization. Her research during her PhD concentrated on kinetic analyses of biomass pyrolysis under fast heating conditions, using techniques such as the micro-pyrolyzer directly connected to mass spectrometry (Py-MS) and wire mesh reactor combined with finite element modeling. Dr. Manel also worked as a research engineer at ENGIE Lab Crigen, where she contributed to the Gaya project, aiming to optimize biomethane production from dry biomass and waste. She analyzed data from test campaigns and helped plan future experiments on the semi-industrial Gaya platform. In December 2024, Dr. Nasfi joined the MuRE group as a post-doctoral fellow, where she will operate the microdowner reactor.
