I am a scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and have an interdisciplinary background and training. My research encompasses many aspects of bioenergy and biomaterials science. Biomass is an abundant, renewable resource that is naturally and continually mass-produced on this planet. Humans have been using biomass as source of fuel and materials for as long as they have existed. My research aims to improve ways by which biomass can be used as a sustainable and renewable source of fuels, chemicals, and materials.
