Lorenzo Favaro - Short Curriculum vitae et studiorum

Lorenzo Favaro was born on August 27th 1982. In 2006, he graduated cum laude in Agricultural Sciences

and Technology (Padova University), discussing an experimental thesis on the multifunctional role of

nirK, nitrite reductase of Rhizobium sullae. In 2007, he won a three years Ph.D. grant within a national

program for the conversion of cheap lignocellulosic by-products into bioethanol. During his Ph.D,

Lorenzo Favaro spent seven months at the Microbiology Department of Stellenbosch University (South

Africa), hosted by Prof. Willem H. Van Zyl. In Stellenbosch, he gained valuable expertise in constructing

recombinant yeast strains with the enhanced ability to hydrolyse raw starch and cellulose. In 2010, he

defended his Ph.D. Thesis, entitled “Selection and genetic improvement of microorganisms for second

generation bioethanol”. Due to patenting reasons, the Ph.D. thesis was secreted for three years.

Academic role and teaching. Lorenzo Favaro is currently appointed as researcher at the DAFNAE

Department (Padova University), where he acts as lecturer in “General Microbiology”. Since 2010, he

has been assisting the tenure of courses in the field of Microbiology and Microbial biotechnologies for

the students of the Agricultural Sciences and Agricultural Biotechnologies Degree. In the end, Lorenzo

Favaro acts as Co-supervisor for 4 PhD students and for 25 Master of Science Theses mainly in

Agricultural Biotechnologies and Agricultural Sciences and Technology.

Research interests. He was involved in several international, national and regional research projects on

the valorisation of low-cost agricultural and industrial residues into valuable products such as fuels and

biopolymers. His main research interests include second generation biofuels, bio-hydrogen production

from organic wastes and the development of Consolidated BioProcessing (CBP) microbes for the

industrial production of ethanol.

Awards. Lorenzo Favaro was recognized as Best Student in Agricultural Sciences and Technology of the

University of Padova in the academic years 2003-2004 and 2005-2006. In 2009, he was awarded by the

Italian Society of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Microbiology (SIMTREA). In 2012, he was

recognized for the best oral presentation of the Third National Conference of SIMTREA. In 2013, he was

awarded as best poster presentation of the Second Microbial Diversity Conference “Microbial

Interactions in Complex Ecosystems”. In 2014, he was awarded by SIMTREA as young and talented

researcher. Publications. In the last five years (2012-17) Lorenzo Favaro co-authored 26 papers in peer-reviewed

journals, 2 chapters in international peer-reviewed books, and 42 publications in international and

national conferences. He is a peer reviewer for several journals and co-inventor of an International

Patent, entitled “Biofuels production” (WO 2011/128712), on the engineering of CBP yeast strains for

the conversion of cellulosic and starchy residues into biofuels.
