Intérêts de recherche
Le professeur Rouissi mettra à la disposition de l’INRS le cumul de ses expériences et s’intéressera dans ses futurs travaux au développement de nouveaux bioprocédés industriels qui permettront d’optimiser les technologies de valorisation et conversion à grande échelle des résidus en produits de hautes valeurs ajoutées, notamment pour des applications en alimentation animale, en industries chimiques et pour la bioremédiation. Il portera également une attention particulière aux biotechnologies qui permettront de contribuer dans la réduction des émissions des gaz à effet de serre dans une perspective d’économie circulaire, et qui peuvent contribuer dans la préservation de l’environnement.
