My research focuses on investigating physiochemical characteristics of biomass that affect their chemical and biological functions. In particular, I am exploring separation of biomass components (i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin). My diverse background in biology, chemistry, engineering, and economics allows me to formulate green yet efficient and economical processes using a hybrid system of enzymes and heterogeneous catalysts to achieve two goals: (1) energy goal, to produce low value, high volume fuels from renewables, and (2) economic goal, to generate additional revenues from high value, low volume building blocks for specialty chemicals. Here is a bit of my current research in a nutshell. | My research focuses on investigating physiochemical characteristics of biomass that affect their chemical and biological functions.
