Welcome to the Computational (Bio)-Processing Group (CBP Group) located in Sherbrooke, Canada. Our work combines process modelling, data analytics, and experimental studies to better understand and optimize chemical and biological systems. By integrating these approaches, we contribute to the digitalization of processes and the development of more efficient, scalable, and sustainable technologies.
Our current projects focus on bio-hydrogen production, carbon utilization strategies, monitoring of bioreactors and clean energy transition through techno-economic analysis. This reflect our goal of linking fundamental process understanding with practcal implementation, to foster commercialization.
On this website, you will find information on ongoing projects and partnerships, group members and events concerning the CBP Group.
Let's get in touch!
