My interview was scheduled for 1:30p on Wed 10/16/13 and man was I nervous. I arrived there 10 min early and couldn't stop wondering about what questions I was going to be asked. Luckily Joshua is really easy to talk to so my interview went well and I left wanting to know more about Biological Research.
I figured since I am pursuing a degree in eviormental engineering why not research biofuels and the recent advancements in technology. Fortunantely reasearch still continues but it is going to take a lot of money and brain power to be able to manufacture biomass efficiently on a comercial scale. Right now corn grain is the primary source of U.S. ethanol production simply because it is easier to breakdown than woodchips and grasses. Much of todays research is focused on accelerating the deconstruction of cellulosic biomass into sugars that can be converted into biofeuls. I have included the link to this page and there is also a helpful diagram that depicts plant matter conversion to cellulosic ethanol. BIOFUEL

It was interesting story. However, Together with other environmental and social experts you can develop projects to help tackle the potential challenges of biofuel production, such as conservation and land management. In your research, you will Learn from today and hope for tomorrow, but the important thing is not to stop questioning. Good luck.
Thanks Maha.. I appreciate your words of wisdom
