Role: PhD student

Hussein is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Degree (BIOREF) scholar specializing in the Biorefining field. His academic journey includes dual bachelor’s degrees in chemical engineering and business administration from Anadolu University and a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey. Driven by a passion for sustainability and renewable materials, Hussein actively seeks opportunities to contribute his expertise to academic and industrial endeavors. He envisions a future where innovative solutions promote sustainability. Beyond academia, Hussein is an adventurous globe trotter, which fuels his desire to discover novel solutions to sustainability challenges.

As he embarks on the MSCA DN SEACHEM Project, Hussein aims to refine bioactive compound extraction from seaweed while minimizing waste and environmental impact through green alternatives and innovative technologies at pilot-scale. Hussein is poised to be a driving force in offshore aquaculture innovation at BMRS.

Role: Scientific Advisor

Freddie O Mahony has more than 40 years of experience in aquaculture. She has worked in scientific and commercial facilities, including research and development. For the last 17 years, Freddie has single-handedly operated and managed a pilot-scale macroalgal hatchery in Bantry, Co.Cork Ireland. This work was funded by Bord Iascaigh Mhara. The hatchery produces over 20 km of seeded string annually for the Irish seaweed industry. Freddie has now joined the team at BMRS as a macroalgal hatchery manager. She hopes to transfer her knowledge and skills to the next generation of young algologists. Freddie will also continue her research into cultivating new species of red seaweeds.
