About
My research interest centers on application of bioprocess engineering to develop technological solutions that can address nutritional/environmental/health challenges. We are currently developing the OU Bioprocess Engineering Core Facility that aims to provide infrastructure to train students to gain hands on experience required in biomanufacturing industries. It will also serve graduate students for MD and PhD research projects. In addition, the core facility will be integrated with the Oklahoma Bioscience Startup Programs and Biotech Incubator aiming to foster rapid pilot scale manufacturing and technology transfer.
