研究方向： 评估生物材料制造过程的能耗和排放，利用化工流程模拟与优化达到工业流程的节能减排和可持续发展.

We are looking for a self-motivated graduate student who is interested in the sustainable utilization of biomass for energy, chemicals, and advanced materials. The student will be developing state-of-the-art analysis tools for quantifying the environmental impacts of biomass-based materials and emerging technologies, optimizing existing and future industrial systems, and identifying feasible pathways to a sustainable bioeconomy. We use transdisciplinary approaches in industrial ecology and green engineering. Students will have opportunities to learn those exciting tools and participate in high-impact projects. Example projects include sustainable biochar sponsored by the national science foundation, nature-based carbon capture projects funded by Yale, and sustainable aviation fuel projects supported by private companies.  

The successful applicants should have relevant backgrounds in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, or other engineering fields. Applicants should hold a BS and master’s degree or a BS with research experience. candidates with high-quality peer-reviewed journal publications are preferred. Good speaking and written English are required. GRE is preferred for all applicants. Previous experience and/or documented knowledge in one or more of the following areas are highly recommended to apply:

•        Life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis
•        Mathematical programming and data analytics (e.g., matlab, R, python, Gams)
•        Process modeling and simulation (e.g., Aspen plus or similar software)
