Bioresource Engineering

提高自然资源和可再生资源的价值和可持续性，对社会、经济和环境都有重要影响。加拿大的政策，如安大略省的绿色能源和绿色经济法（2009年）和加拿大环境部的废水系统排放条例（WSER）（2012年），增加了对可再生能源生产、生物产品回收和应用环境可持续方法来管理我们的水、废物和可再生资源的激励。我的研究计划将(1)增强我们对复杂生态工程处理系统的基本理解；(2)推进从藻类和剩余生物质系统中回收环境友好型生物燃料/生物产品的方法。这项研究将加强加拿大在应用环境可持续性和生物资源管理方面发挥有效影响的能力，从而帮助加拿大通过持续的碳和养分回收来履行其国际气候变化承诺；在发展生物质改性和转化方法方面，这将刺激其生物经济。

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.
