C. Michel, Jr.
Associate Professor of Biosystems Engineering
|
| Research
Interests:
Improving the processing of
agricultural and industrial byproducts through the development of
new or improved bioprocessing technologies. Specific research
activities include the development of DNA/RNA based analytical tools
for the investigation of microbial community structure and function
in composts, waste treatment processes and amended soils;
engineering processes for efficient conversion of dairy and hog
production wastes into composts and other value-added, transportable
and stable products that reduce liquid use and air pollution; and
characterizing the effects of composting and other waste management
processes on xenobiotic chemical fates, plant disease suppressive
microorganisms and human pathogens.
