I am a professor in the Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering at Oklahoma State University (OSU). I also serve as the oil and oilseed specialist at OSU’s Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center. My professional experience as an engineer and scientist includes positions held in Europe, Canada, and the United States. I have authored over 300 publications, including patents, books, book chapters, peer-reviewed journal articles, featured magazine articles, extension publications, and abstracts. My research program at Oklahoma State University focuses on the water–food–energy nexus. The primary objective of the program is to enhance the nutritional and economic value of plant-based materials through innovative processing methods, while conserving water and minimizing environmental impact. My areas of expertise include oil and oilseed processing and quality, biofuels, biological wastewater treatment, functional foods and nutraceuticals, the effects of processing on phytonutrients, and the recovery of biologically active, health-beneficial, and high-value components from agricultural materials. I also work on value-added processing of industrial waste streams and by-products using environmentally benign techniques. I collaborate closely with many industrial clients, providing technical support and consulting services. I am a Fellow of the American Oil Chemists’ Society and am frequently invited to present at national and international conferences.
