Food for Thought: Valorisation of biomass residues into chemicals
Our annual Food for Thought Public Lecture Series is entering its 22nd season of bringing timely science topics to the community: our neighbours, alumni, students, staff and faculty!
Until further notice, all lectures will be online (Zoom link below).
This year's theme:聽鈥淐elebrating McGill's Bicentennial and the promise of a better tomorrow"
Dr. Marie-Jos茅e Dumont, Associate Professor; William Dawson Scholar, 香蕉视频
Dr. Marie-Jos茅e Dumont obtained a PhD in Bioresource and Food Engineering from the University of Alberta, a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering and a Bachelor degree in Food Engineering from Universit茅 Laval. Her research targets the synthesis of high value specialty chemicals and responsive materials to accelerate the development of a strong bioeconomy. For example, her research group is currently focusing on the conversion of non-edible feedstocks into furanic compounds. These compounds have a broad spectrum of applications for the production of fuels, solvents, pharmaceuticals, and biobased polymers.
