Our lab focuses on developing sustainable processes for large-scale production of biocrude oil through hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae coupled with CO2 sequestration. This research addresses the continuous depletion of conventional fuel sources and the increasing demand for alternative energy.
We aim to develop novel process strategies for synchronized cultivation of microalgae with efficient utilization of CO2-rich flue gas and direct conversion of wet biomass to biocrude oil.
We are working on optimizing the production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), important omega-3 fatty acids, in heterotrophic microalgae such as Schizochytrium sp.
Our research involves metabolic engineering approaches to enhance the production of these valuable compounds, which have significant applications in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.
Our laboratory is engaged in developing efficient bioprocesses for the production of high-value compounds from microbial sources. We focus on optimizing fermentation conditions, designing bioreactors, and implementing downstream processing strategies.
The goal is to establish economically viable and environmentally sustainable processes for industrial applications.
We are developing innovative technologies for converting various waste streams into valuable energy products. This includes the utilization of agricultural residues, food waste, and industrial by-products as feedstocks for biofuel production.
Our approach integrates biological and thermochemical conversion methods to maximize resource recovery and minimize environmental impact.
