About
Falk Harnisch is a leading figure in microbial bioelectrochemistry, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of how microorganisms interact with electrodes. His research centers on microbial bioelectrocatalysis and the development of microbial bioelectrochemical systems (BES)—a platform technology with transformative potential for sustainable energy and environmental applications. Harnisch’s major contributions include pioneering insights into the fundamental mechanisms of electron transfer between microbes and electrodes, as well as advancing the practical design and operation of BES for processes like wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and bioenergy production. His highly cited 2013 review, "From Microbial Bioelectrocatalysis to Microbial Bioelectrochemical Systems," has become a cornerstone reference, guiding over a decade of research in the field. With thousands of citations across his body of work, Harnisch’s impact is profound, and he is recognized for bridging fundamental science with applied engineering. His achievements include leading major collaborative projects and receiving international awards, cementing his role as a visionary in the quest to harness microbial power for a sustainable future.
