research focuses on process optimization for the sustainable utilization of bio-resources, wastewater recycling, resource recovery, and biotransformation of biomass to bioenergy and bioproducts, including biofertilizers, industrial enzymes, and biopolymers employing microalgae/cyanobacteria/fungi as microbial cell factories in a multiproduct biorefinery paradigm. We intend to develop novel low-carbon or carbon-neutral bioprocesses for agriculture and bioindustry while keeping the energy, water, environment, and food nexus sustainable.
