Glen DSouza holds a PhD in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Western University, London, Ontario, Canada. His research focused on resource recovery from agricultural waste, with an emphasis on developing biodegradable bio-phenol formaldehyde (BPF) foams from lignocellulosic biomass, aimed at hydroponic and environmental remediation applications. Glen also holds a Master's degree (M.E.Sc.) in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Western University, where he specialized in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of bubble column reactors equipped with internals. His academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree (B.E.) in Chemical Engineering from R. V. College of Engineering, Bangalore, India, where he investigated polyethylene biodegradation using fungal strains of Aspergillus species. In addition to his research, Glen has a passion for teaching. He has served as a per-course lecturer at Huron University, where he taught a first-year course on Environmental Sustainability, and contributed as an Instructor at Western University's Centre for Teaching and Learning. Over his years at Western University, Glen has been actively involved as a teaching and grading assistant for multiple courses. His research interests span waste-to-resource recovery, polymer engineering, circular economy, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), multiphase reactors, and engineering education.
