Scientific expertise and main academic achievements :

Dr. Eric TRABLY is senior research scientist and deputy head of the INRA-LBE research unit. His academic background deals with environmental biotechnology, and more particularly microbial ecosystem engineering, microbial ecology and physiology in mixed cultures. Since 2007, Eric Trably has been leading a research group on “Biohydrogen production by dark fermentation in mixed cultures” at INRA-LBE. He coordinated two French national programs (InGEcoH and ProBHyM) with the objectives of the optimization of biohydrogen production by fermentation of waste. He has also been involved in several national projects and three EU projects dealing with “biohydrogen and biomolecules production from organic materials in fermentative bioprocesses”. Overall, Dr. Eric Trably has supervised 26 PhD students, 15 Post-docs (> 1 year), 11 invited researchers (>6 months) and >60 MSc. He was awarded for his research on biotechnological innovation in waste/wastewater treatment systems, by the French ADEME price of Innovation in 2012 and 2013 and the French Circular Economy Prize (Research category) in 2018. He has (co-jauthored >320 references, including 4 patents, ~135 papers in peer-review journals (29% in Q1excep), 7 book chapters, and ~125 communications at international conferences. Since 2014, he has been involved as French representative at the International Energy Agency (IEA) – Hydrogen Implementing Agreement (HIA) in taskgroup 34 “BioH2”, and is member of the Latino American BioH2 Network. Since 2020, he is the Regional representative at the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB), Division of Environmental Biotechnology. His H-index is 45 (Scopus) or 51(Google Scholar)
