Overview
Background
Dr Juliane Wolf obtained her Bachelor degree in Biotechnology-Bioprocess Engineering at the Anhalt University of Applied Science, Germany, in 2008 and completed her Master degree in Biotechnology-Molecular Biology at the Westaehlische Wilhelms Universitaet Muenster, Germany, in 2010. She went on to obtain her PhD at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) at The University of Queensland, Australia, in 2015, where she continued as a postdoctoral researcher. She took a researcher career break from 2018-20 to look after her children and work as an international industry consultant.
Dr Juliane Wolf is a microalgae specialist and manages the Centre for Solar Biotechnology (CSB) Pilot Plant since 2020. Her research focus is on the development of high-efficiency microalgae production systems and automated robotic screening systems. Her work has played an integral role in the establishment of the Centre for Solar Biotechnology (CSB) for which she provides scientific expertise in bioprocess engineering (bioreactor scale up and operation, process design and development), biology (bio-prospecting, optimisation of culturing and production conditions, physiology) and biochemistry. Her research drives the development of high-throughput screening assays for the optimisation of nutrients, light and temperature which are critical to up-scaling the production of photosynthetic microorganisms. More recently her projects focus on the integration of microalgae biotechnologies into industries that support a circular bioeconomy by building new comprehensive techno-economic and life-cycle analysis platforms. This includes leading interdisciplinary teams to drive the development of data-driven models (incl. machine learning techniques) to optimise process design and control leading to the build up of digital twins.

Research impacts
Dr Juliane Wolf works primarily on industry-led research programmes, such as the AUD 3.5 Mil National and International Research Alliances Program with industry partners including KBR, Siemens, Neste Oil and Cement Australia. She actively engages in further industry network expansion and the fostering of existing partnerships. Through her initiative in 2018 to partner with TI Consult GmbH (Germany) the Center for Solar Biotechnology connected with over 40 associated new partners within a German-Australian industry cooperation network . Network expansion is key to deliver translational, entrepreneurial, educational and research outcomes that provide mutual benefit to both end-users and research.
