Areas of Interest

My research interests include synthesis, properties and functionality evaluations of renewable materials such as fats, oils, carbohydrates for food and industrial applications. The current research involves development of novel pretreatment technologies to overcome the recalcitrance of cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars for biofuels and bioproducts and the development of bio-renewable plasticizers.
