Bioresource Engineering

提高我们的自然和可再生资源的价值和可持续性具有重要的社会，经济和环境影响。加拿大的政策，如安大略的《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》（2012年），增加了对可再生能源发电、生物产品回收和应用环境可持续方法管理我们的水、废物和可再生资源的奖励。我的研究计划将（1）提高我们对复杂的生态工程处理系统的基本理解;（2）从藻类和残余生物质系统中推进环保型生物燃料/生物产品回收方法。这项研究将提高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，这将有助于加拿大通过可持续的碳和养分循环来履行其国际气候变化承诺;并有助于加拿大制定生物量改造和转化办法，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.
