Dr. Hugo Roume obtained his Engineering degree in biology option environmental technology from Ecole de Biologie Industrielle at Cergy-Pontoise (France) that he completed by a Master degree in sustainable technology from Université Technologique de Compiègne (France) in 2009. Then he moved to Luxembourg to obtain his PhD in systems biology applied to microbial ecology at the University of Luxembourg in 2013. His PhD thesis focus on elucidate details of the fate of lipid within wastewater treatment systems mixed microbial communities in order to harness these traits for the direct production of biofuel from wastewater sludge. During this time he gain valuable competence in molecular biology, sequencing as well as statistic and bioinformatics analysis applied to microbial ecology.
