Dr. Ezeji's expertise includes production, purification and process development of biologics for bioenergy and bioproducts strain characterization; as well as microbial strain development and characterization for efficient bioconversion of biomass to butanol and ethanol. He also has extensive experience on isolation, identification and characterization of microorganisms of biotechnological importance. He is actively involved in various R & D programs in the area of fermentation biology focusing on research and outreach in microbial strains development, bioconversion of animal and food industry wastes into bio-energy and other value-added products. Research emphasis is on fermentation, strain development, metabolomics and processes regulating the conversion of agricultural byproducts, co-products or wastes into biofuel and value-added products.
