Stéphanie Baumberger is Professor in Green chemistry at AgroParisTech Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences, which is a part of the Paris-Saclay University. She is Leader of a research team dedicated to lignocellulosic biopolymers at the Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin (UMR 1318 Université Paris-Saclay, INRAE, AgroParisTech) in Versailles (France). With an initial background in food science, she progressively orientated her activities towards the non-food uses of agro-resources, then biorefinery and bioeconomy systems. She has a 30-year expertise in the investigation of lignin structure and functionalities. After a Ph.D. thesis on starch-lignin composites defended in 1997, she has coordinated several projects related to lignocellulose biorefineries, among which the European project Zelcor (zero-waste lignocellulosic biorefineries) that earned her the prize “Les étoiles de l’Europe” in 2021. She has built-up and coordinates a European master in Biological and chemical engineering for a sustainable bioeconomy (Bioceb) which benefits from the support of the European Union in the framework of the Erasmus Mundus programme. She is Co-author of 60 scientific papers in international journals, 5 book chapters, 90 communications, and 1 patent, and Coordinator of a book. She trains each year master’s and Ph.D. students from 20 different nationalities and benefits from collaborations in 17 countries all over the world.
