Professional Biography
Some of my research emphasis at UK is in bioprocessing, specifically downstream processing of value added proteins and the conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuels. My other area of interest is in biomass conversion. The conversion of agricultural and forestry biomass into value-added chemicals and materials holds great promise for increasing industrial sustainability and increasing markets available for U.S. producers. In one project, we are focusing on the thermochemical conversion of biomass to value added chemicals and materials by catalytic mediated liquefaction (CML), emphasizing the yield of heavy products.
