Biography
Hanifa Taher earned her PhD in Chemical Engineering from the UAE University in June 2014. Her PhD and MSc research work both focused on the enzymatic production of biodiesel from lipids extracted from different feedstock using supercritical carbon dioxide, and developing and integrated production process. In March 2014, Dr. Taher joined Masdar Institute of Science and Technology as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. Her research interests are in green extraction of valuable compounds, biodiesel production, microalgae biomass production, processes intensification, optimization, and scale–up, which resulted in more than 10 journal publications and 1 patent. Recently, she submitted her first scientific book discussing the cutting edge technologies in enzymatic biodiesel production.
