About me

Harry Bitter is full professor at Wageningen University & Research. He chairs a group which focusses on the sustainable production of bulk chemicals and fuels from biomass by an integrated approach. The group motto is TIPTOP chemistry and technology: Turning variable InPut into Tailored OutPut, one of the great challenges in biomass conversion.
