Curiosity,
put to work.

I’m Albert Kravos. I connect research, data and practical ideas — from olive leaves and sustainable energy to tools for exploring knowledge.

01 / The story so far

Not a straight line.
A useful one.

Chemistry in Italy. Energy and entrepreneurship in Denmark. Research in Slovenia. Each chapter adds another way of looking at a problem.

Six chapters. Choose a year to take a look.

ITALY2013University of Trieste

The foundation

Learning to ask what things are made of.

I earned my BSc in Chemistry at the University of Trieste, building the scientific foundation for what came next.

BSc in Chemistry · Awarded 15 March 2013

DENMARK2017Technical University of Denmark

A bigger energy question

From chemistry to sustainable energy.

At DTU, I specialised in Biofuels and earned a Master of Science in Engineering in Sustainable Energy. My research work involved developing and testing an electrochemical ammonia-synthesis system.

MSc awarded 14 February 2017 · Electrochemical Researcher, 2017

DENMARK2018
—2021BlueBenu

The startup chapter

Taking an idea into the laboratory.

As Co-Founder and CTO at BlueBenu, I worked on recycling technology for complex plastic polymers: laboratory protocols, testing, partner collaboration and mentoring interdisciplinary intern teams.

A leaf is more than a leaf

Finding value in agricultural residues.

I explored olive leaves and other agricultural materials with spectroscopy, chromatography and chemometric models. The work also took me into olive groves, using 3D scans and point clouds to estimate pruning biomass.

From samples to patterns

Making laboratory data work harder.

My analytical work included oil matrices, chromatography and sample preparation. I also built and analysed a laboratory database covering 2018–2024, connected meteorological data, and led preparation and submission of the Clean Food Adrion proposal.

The current chapter

Bringing research, information and people together.

Since February 2026, I’ve worked as an Assistant at ZRS Koper’s Institute for Behavioural Economics. My work supports research, international projects, documentation and communication, including contributions to EMPOWERMed.

02 / Independent explorations

Ideas with
something to show.

Alongside my research background, I develop AI-assisted information products and local workflows. A recurring question: how can complex material become easier to inspect and use?

Knowledge exploration · Personal prototype

Atlas

A reader for finding, connecting and revisiting useful ideas in long-form source material.

Controlled AI workflows · Local workflow development

MetaOpt

An approach to improving AI-assisted work through explicit checks, preserved versions and human oversight.

Different projects.
The same instinct:
keep the source,
find the structure,
make it useful.

Transcript production · Portable local suite

DeepDive

A local production workflow for authorised text and transcripts, with revisions, readers and exports.

These are personal projects and local development work. Each project page explains its scope and current recorded stage.

03 / A small experiment

The curiosity
mixer.

Pick two ingredients. Discover where they’ve already met in my work.

Unexpected combinations encouraged.

Choose two ingredients

Matter + Data. Ready to mix.

Matter + Data

An olive leaf, decoded.

Spectroscopy and chemometric models meet agricultural research: using measured signals to explore moisture, oleuropein and other valuable compounds.

Meet the InnoRenew chapter

Six combinations. All grounded in my work.

04 / Ways of working

Measure. Understand.
Make something useful.

My toolkit moves between the laboratory, the dataset and the interface. The method depends on the question.

Get closer to the material.

Analytical chemistry, spectroscopy, chromatography and experimental planning.

HPLCGC / GC-FIDIR / NIRUV-Vis
A concrete example

Working with olive leaves and oil matrices, from sample preparation and laboratory documentation to spectral measurements and compound analysis.

Give the data a shape.

Chemometrics, modelling, visualisation and spatial measurement.

PCA / PLS / ANNMatlabPoint clouds
A concrete example

Processing 3D scans from olive-grove pilots to estimate pruning biomass, and using laboratory and weather data to investigate patterns.

Help the work travel.

Research communication, technical coordination and AI-assisted information design.

Technical reportingMentoringPrototypes
A concrete example

Mentoring interdisciplinary teams, contributing to project proposals and dissemination, and creating readers that keep ideas connected to their sources.
