Research Field
Prof. John Chi-Wei Lan received his Ph.D in the School of Chemical Engineering from University of Birmingham (UK) in 2000. His doctoral research was dedicated to develop an efficient process to recovery of C595 diabody from fermentation broth using expanded bed technique in large scale production. He was a post-doctoral researcher at Academia Sinica (Taiwan) to work on bioprocessing design of feed-enzyme production from 2000 to 2003. He was also a research fellow in Yamaguchi University (Japan) and Industrial Technology and Research Institute (ITRI, Taiwan), respectively, before he joined Yuan Ze University (YZU) in 2007. Prof. Lan currently serves as Chair and Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Sciences at YZU and also the Vice-President of Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Society of Taiwan(BEST). Prof. Lan is an ample experience researcher in respect of involving design and construction of industrial plant and very active in collaboration between academia and industrial partners. His current research focuses upon process integration for bio-based chemicals production from waste biomass/industrial feedstocks.
