I am trained as a Biological Systems Engineer and my interests lie in engineering resilient systems using the principles of green chemistry and the concept of the integrated biorefinery. These systems include agricultural facilities (farms), industry (biomass processing refineries) and the interaction of these facilities with the environment.

My current research deals with addressing challenges faced by the Louisiana sugarcane industry with regards to improved sugarcane characterization for efficient processing, incorporation of sensor networks and IIoT (industrial internet of things) frameworks for long-term data collection of plant performance metrics and environmental sustainability, and valorization of sugarcane processing byproducts to reduce waste.
