Dr hab. inż. Grzegorz Pasternak is an Associate Professor at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, leading the Laboratory of Microbial Electrochemical Systems (L-MES). The research of dr. Grzegorz Pasternak focuses on microbial fuel cells, electrofermentation, and biosensors, aiming to develop sustainable technologies for waste-to-energy conversion and environmental monitoring. In recent years, his group has been developing bioelectrochemically stimulated synthesis of biosurfactants and the degradation of waste cooking oil and petroleum. His work has been supported by approximately €1.5 million in funding, including support from NCN, NAWA, and international sources. He has contributed to the COST Action and a COST Innovation Grant focused on commercialising microbial fuel cell technology. Dr Pasternak has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications (h-index of 18). He is an Associate Editor of Energy Nexus, Frontiers in Microbiology, and Chemical Engineering Journal: Green and Sustainable.
