The Microbiology of the Drop-in Biofuel Production

Carlos S. Osorio-Gonzalez is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Civil Engineering Department at York University, Ontario, Canada. His research interest mainly lies in residues valorization, bioenergy production, fermentation technology, sustainability, and biorefinery. His specific research area includes biofuels, enzyme and secondary metabolite production, wastewater treatment, bioremediation using biological systems and apply biostatistics. He has been held with several awards and scholarships such as Merit Scholarship Program for Foreign Students-Short-term (PBEEE-3M), Bourses de 2è et 3è cycle pour stage en Centre collégial de transfert de technologies (CCTT), and Mitacs Research Award. He has more than dozen research publications and book chapters in bioenergy field in international peer-reviewed journals and books. In addition, he has also been Guest editor of several special issues and reviews of several international journals related to life science and engineering.
