Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Meister is an environmental engineering PhD turned part-time entrepreneur focused on biomass upcycling, circular economy and sustainable food products, with nine years of multidisciplinary experience spanning academic virology research and edible insect production. He founded and runs Lowimpact Food, developing mealworm rearing and transformation processes for B2C and B2B products (dried insects, snacks, protein powders and oils), blending lab rigor with hands-on product engineering. Comfortable in chaotic, high-stress environments, he brings strong problem-solving, innovation and project-management skills honed at EPFL and through international research collaborations. Eager to pivot further into the agrofood sector, he seeks part-time roles in product development and transformation where his lab-to-market perspective and creative systems thinking can accelerate sustainable protein solutions.
