Joe Sagues, a NC State University PhD student in the Department of Forest Biomaterials<\/a>, was awarded a fellowship from the Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program<\/a> on a project titled, “Overcoming Lignocellulose Recalcitrance to Improve Catalytic Graphitization for the Advancement of Bio-Based Energy Storage Materials.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe is advised by Dr. Sunkyu Park<\/a> who adds, “This is the most prestigious award that a graduate student can receive from the U.S. Department of Energy, which will cover all expenses during Sagues’ stay at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory<\/a>. Joe is very passionate about biorefinery research to produce bioenergy, chemicals, and high-value materials. It is in my opinion that Mr. Sagues has the talent and experience to become a truly outstanding scientist and engineer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He first chose the Department of Forest Biomaterials for graduate studies because “Drs. Sunkyu Park and Hasan Jameel<\/a> are renown experts in the field of biomass conversion engineering, which is the filed I would like to become and expert in. Our department is a world leader in bioproduct research and development.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the DOE Fellowship, Joe has interned at the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E)<\/a> as a 2018 Technology-to-Market Scholar and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute<\/a> as a 2019 Summer Scholar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
