Dimitrios Floudas, Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Biology, Lund University, Sweden.

Dr Floudas is an associate senior lecturer at the Department of Biology. His research focuses on the ability of filamentous fungi to decompose organic matter. His recent work includes the use of Raman micro spectroscopy and X-ray scattering in the degradation of cellulose by fungi and the use of NMR and X-ray scattering in the decomposition of dissolved organic matter by ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi and their impact on its colloidal properties. He is interested to further use X- ray and neutron scattering techniques to develop new protocols to visualize the structural and chemical transformations of organic matter ranging from intact materials such as plant cell walls to soil organic matter.
