Haibo Huang received his Ph.D. in agricultural and biological engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013, his M.Sc. in biological engineering from the University of Arkansas in 2009, and his B.Sc. in biosystems engineering from Zhejiang University in 2007. Currently, he is an associate professor at the Department of Food Science and Technology, Virginia Tech. His research focuses on developing food- and bio-processing technologies to produce food ingredients, animal feed, and green chemicals from agricultural and food products for improving the sustainability of the food production chain. His current projects include (1) fractionation and purification of high-value components (proteins, lipids, antioxidants, etc.) from food processing byproducts; (2) conversion of various types of food wastes to value-added chemicals using novel fermentation techniques; and (3) quantification and characterization of major components in food.
