2020 Doctoral Graduate Students Research in Review

The Department of Forest Biomaterials is a research powerhouse with an ecosystem built for achievement and collaboration. Using fundamental science and applied engineering skills, coupled with financial and life cycle analyses, our faculty and students examine the practical uses of forest biomass as renewable resources that could form the basis for many products of the future, including biofuels, bioenergy, bioplastics, chemicals, housing materials, composite components and more.

Our graduate students work with faculty in the areas of:

• Advanced manufacturing
• Novel forest-based biomaterials
• Paper science and processes
• Renewable chemicals and energy
• Business processes and innovation
• Sustainable materials and technology

Check out some of the exciting research our graduate students are doing in our 2020 Doctoral Graduate Students Research Yearbook.
