Lu Wang

Lu Wang is a postdoctoral researcher in Bioproducts, Sciences, and Engineering Laboratory (BSEL) of Washington State University. She has been working on biomass thermal chemical conversion (pyrolysis, gasification, aqueous phase reforming, catalytic process, and bio-oil upgrading) for aromatics, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, syngas, biofuels, bioproducts production since 2005. Lu received her master degree in Environmental engineering from Chinese Academy of Science in 2008 and her Ph.D. in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from Washington State University at Tri-Cities in 2013. Now her research mainly focuses on high-valued biofuels production from ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis of biomass. Her work showed that zeolite and non-precious metal modified zeolite catalyst are highly effective in producing aromatic hydrocarbons from deoxygenation of biomass pyrolysis vapor in ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis process.
