Research Interests:
Industrial change to eliminate energy-intense processes, reduce dependence on fossil resources, protect the environment and move toward stable commodity markets to enhance the appeal of utilization of farm products.
Industrial chemicals, fuels and polymers from renewable resources and more specifically in the substitution of materials derived from industrial fats and oils for petroleum-based industrial products.
Utilization of agricultural wastes (cellulose-based) and other renewable resources such as municipal solid wastes to fuels and chemicals.
Enzyme reactions. The conversion of fats and oils through enzymatic reactions into value-added products such as fatty acids and their monoglyceride derivatives has been of major commercial interest.
