Join us online Wed. 10/21 from 9am-12pm! Experts from UW–Madison, federal and tribal government, and WI’s private sector will share their insights on WI's emerging bio-based economy in “Advancing Wisconsin’s Rural Bioeconomy”. More on the event: energy.wisc.edu/news/bioeconom…

So, how is AIChE going? Me:

It was a great pleasure to present my work and chair sessions in #AICHE2021. Hope to meet again next year!

I am excited to share our latest research that just came out in Green Chemistry. In this study we converted the lignin in plants to a potential bioplastic precursor with hybrid process that uses chemical deconstruction and microbial conversion. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Manuscript submission is now open for a new article collection edited by Canan Sener, Rebecca Ong, @AliHussainM0 and Shamik Misra, on “Upgrading Biomass into Value-Added Products: Maximizing Feedstock Utilization”. frontiersin.org/research-topic…

I am excited to join the Editorial Board of Frontiers in Chemical Engineering. Hope to contribute to the dissemination of valuable work within the catalyst community. #frontiers in #chemicalengineering Find out more: frontiersin.org/journals/chemi…

Big news! We are so excited to announce that U.S. Department of Energy has awarded #GLBRC and our partner BRCs 5 more years of funding to continue our mission of developing sustainable alternatives to fuels and products currently made from petroleum. Learn more: glbrc.org/news/glbrc-rec…

Biofuels can help us move away from fossil fuel-based transportation and advance the bioeconomy. We've awarded Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) (a Bioenergy Research Center UW–Madison) another 5 years of funding for research on converting non-fuel plants into biofuels: news.wisc.edu/doe-renews-fun…

Conferencing a little bit…

I had an awesome AIChE! See you next year!

Sener Lab is ready for 2024 with #Parr and home-made reactors in #WisconsinEnergyInstitute! Wishing you all a happy new year! #GLBRC

You may have taken paracetamol recently, even if you didn't realize it - it's the active ingredient in Tylenol. Normally, it's derived from fossil fuels. UW–Madison & Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) have developed a cost-effective way to make it from poplar trees: news.wisc.edu/uw-madison-res…

Steven Karlen UW Energy Institute and Sang-Jin Kim MSU College of Natural Science, both senior scientists with GLBRC, are the winners of the first Yaoping Zhang Bioenergy Research Award! Read more about the outstanding productivity and dedication of these two researchers: buff.ly/4aEufUp
