Research Interests

My research is interdisciplinary in nature, falling into 3 overarching themes that are tied to agriculture and environmental sustainability. My research group leverages the Centre for Agricultural Renewable Energy and Sustainability (CARES) facility to explore:

  1. Conversion of agricultural crops, residues, and waste into bioenergy and bioproducts using a variety of technologies including anaerobic digestion, fermentation, and gasification.
  2. Exploring alternative deadstock management strategies for the Ontario and Canadian livestock sector.
  3. Remediation of pollutants (e.g. nutrients, plastics, chemicals) prior to them entering the agroecosystem.

My research team uses a combination of engineering, microbiology, and analytical chemistry to focus on applied research that addresses issues facing the Canadian agriculture sector.
