I have a background in bioprocess engineering. My research interests include the biorefinery of biomass for liquid biofuels and biochemical production through fermentation process. I have an extensive background and experience in lactic acid fermentation and ethanol fermentation. My current research is on the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass (mainly agricultural waste) for production of ethanol, microbial lipids and xylitol. I have extended my research to cover microalgae biomass and crude glycerol as feedstocks for liquid biofuel production.
