2025/06/30
New Professor out of the CCPS family tree – We are proud to share that Sebastián Espinel Ríos, former PhD student under the supervision of Rolf Findeisen (CCPS), Steffen Klamt, and Katja Bettenbrock, will be joining University College Dublin as a tenure-track Assistant Professor (Ad Astra Fellow) in early 2026.

His new lab at the School of Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering will focus on digital twins, multi-level optimization, machine learning, control, and software for bioprocess digitalization — combining systems biology and process systems engineering.
Congratulations, Sebastián — we look forward to future collaborations and wish you all the best in Dublin!
