I think I’m slowly becoming a dad who’s way too into lawncare… not sure how I feel about it.

Busy day in the BUS Lab as we prepare bioreactors for anaerobic digestion experiments.

Let’s build this little guy a planet that lasts. Climate tech isn’t just innovation — it’s love in action.

🌍 Excited to share our new research on carbon-negative bioplastics—now published in Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews! We assessed the techno-economic potential for atmospheric CO2 removal via industrial-scale fermentation of lignocellulose into bioplastics 🌱 🧪 . 1/n

Feeling incredibly proud of the amazing work the BUS lab has done over the past few years. This group has put in a lot of effort and supported one another — it’s been a pleasure to work alongside them. Here’s to continuing the momentum in the year ahead! 💪📚🔬

Leaf pick up in front of my house. Great opportunity for biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS).

Happy New Year! In 2025, I’m excited to continue advancing the bioeconomy via innovation in climate and energy solutions. Specifically, I’m excited to apply lessons learned over the past decade to optimize my performance and impact while maintaining work-life balance.

Today is a glorious day. The Biological & Agricultrual Engineering Department at NC State finally has compost service!
