I am not strictly a researcher; however, I do have research interests. I am interested in dissemination of ideas and information, which in this context is the research of CeBER. I am also interested in the research process. I try to keep learning in the area of writing and other forms of presentation. I seek to be in touch with trends in academic dissemination.
In terms of the technical bioprocess engineering space, I have a deep interest in the nexus of social, environmental, technical and economic questions and outcomes. I follow the research in biorefineries with an emphasis on the circular economy. I am also very motivated by the needs and opportunities in sanitation and water.
