Areas of Expertise Chemical, Biological, Environmental & Sustainable Engineering; design, evaluation and analysis of these systems, including policy frameworks, with interests in extending traditional design principles. Examples include: utilizing design for the environment principles, sustainability pedagogy particularly using science-technology-society perspectives, and that involve innovation!
While at the Colorado School of Mines I have been developing pedagogical philosophy and a deep appreciation for community, made possible via work with a Denver Public School. As part of this process, Denver Urban Gardens community gardens have been used as experiential learning and teaching tools to build a basis for exploration of sustainability science topics that have allowed for extension and innovative as part of a senior design engineering program. My efforts have also allowed me to participate in a NSF GK-12 fellowship program and a student diversity internship with the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention in the US EPA. I am also interested in studies of China and in Asian Development.

Galvanotropism in the Context of Biomass Pre-treatment
The recalcitrance of cellulosic matter has been an active area of research for sometime that has intensified as part of the Department of Energy’s Biomass program. To that end, how many people can comment on the wide variety of approaches that can be taken to investigate recalcitrance? Pretreatment processes are accepted required steps in overall fermentative biomass process schemes.
