PhD candidate and bioeconomy expert , I research algae biomass valorization, focusing on economic and risk assessment across the full value chain.

My organisation

LBTU is a leading institution in biosciences, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture, with strong expertise in the valorisation of marine and terrestrial biomass and the development of innovative biotechnological solutions for food and agriculture. The university conducts research on the development and environmental assessment of alternative protein sources, such as algae-based ingredients, which directly aligns with EU priorities in biotechnology and sustainable food systems. LBTU's contribution to the consortium includes advanced research capacity in alternative proteins, circular bioeconomy, and climate-smart agriculture, as well as extensive experience in international cooperation and industry collaboration. This ensures effective knowledge transfer, development of innovative solutions, and support for the implementation of project objectives in line with EU sustainability goals.

About me

I am simultaneously a doctoral student at the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies (LBTU) and a leading expert at the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA). My experience includes active participation in research projects focused on the sustainable use of marine biomass, especially Baltic Sea algae, for agricultural and food applications. I have collaborated with academic and industry partners in the Baltic Sea region, contributed to project design, data collection, and dissemination of results at international conferences. As a senior project manager at LIAA, I have coordinated and managed EU-funded projects such as MarTE and AgriBioCircular, overseeing project planning, implementation, stakeholder engagement, and reporting. I have acted as a key liaison between academic, industry, and policy partners, and have supported the development and submission of EU grant applications within international consortia.
