Klaus Koren’s research centers on the development and application of in situ sensing technologies to study complex biological and chemical processes. His work enables detailed, spatially resolved measurements of parameters such as pH, oxygen, and dissolved gases, making it possible to observe how microbial activity and environmental conditions vary across time and space.
Within CORC, he contributes to the project “Advancing gas fermentation bioreactor design via sensor integration and predictive modelling”, where his role is to design and integrate advanced sensor systems directly into bioreactors.
He collaborates closely with CORC PIs Michael Kofoed and Mahdi Abkar, contributing sensor technologies that complement reactor engineering and computational modeling. Together, the team aims to move beyond conventional “black-box” operation of bioreactors by enabling data-driven design and optimization of next-generation CO2 conversion systems.
