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.
