Bioresource Engineering

提高我们的自然资源和可再生资源的价值和可持续性 对社会、经济和环境的影响。加拿大政策，如安大略省的绿色能源 和《绿色经济法》(2009)和加拿大环境部的废水系统排放 《条例》(WSER)(2012)增加了对可再生能源发电的激励措施， 生物产品回收和应用环境可持续方法来管理我们的 水、废物和可再生资源。我的研究计划将(1)加强我们的基础 了解复杂的生态工程处理系统；以及(2)推进环境保护 从藻类和残存生物质系统中合理回收生物燃料/生物产品的方法。这 研究将增强加拿大在应用环境方面的有效影响能力 可持续发展和生物资源管理，这将有助于加拿大实现其 通过持续的碳和养分循环实现的国际气候变化承诺；以及 开发生物质改性和转化方法，以刺激其生物经济。

Enhancing the value and sustainability of our natural and renewable resources has important societal, economic and environmental impacts. Canadian policies such as Ontario's Green Energy and Green Economy Act (2009) and Environment Canada's Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER) (2012) have increased incentives for renewable energy generation, bioproduct recovery and the application of environmentally sustainable approaches to manage our water, waste and renewable resources. My research program will (1) enhance our fundamental understanding of complex eco-engineered treatment systems; and (2) advance environmentally sound biofuel/bioproduct recovery approaches from algal and residual biomass systems. This research will enhance Canada's capacity for effective influence in applied environmental sustainability and the management of bioresources that will assist Canada in meeting its international climate change commitments through sustained carbon and nutrient recycling; and in developing biomass modification and conversion approaches that will stimulate its bioeconomy.
