Adams, Jessica - Aberystwyth University - Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences

个人简介

I have a 2.1 in Medical Microbiology (Hons.) from the University of Edinburgh and a CASE PhD awarded in 2008 in Microbial biotechnology from the University of Manchester. In November 2007 I began a post-doctorate researcher position funded by SUPERGEN -Bioenergy (EPSRC) working on the fermentation of selected seaweeds to produce bioethanol at IGER Aberystwyth (subsequently merged to IBERS, Aberystwyth University). From March 2009 I have been employed under the ISPG (BBSRC) at IBERS, Aberystwyth University working on the saccharification and fermentation of Miscanthus and other biomass crops and since December 2010 have spent part of my time on BEACON (ERDF) on macroalgae, novel micro-organisms and products from apple pomace.

研究领域

Climate change, fuel security & economics are driving the use of renewable technologies, but only biomass is capable of producing liquid fuels for use as a transport fuel. Renewable transport fuel obligations have increased demand for bioethanol & biodiesel from a range of sources. Most of these sources come into direct conflict with food production. Marine biomass is currently an under-exploited resource with the potential to produce large amounts of biofuel without adversely affecting our food supplies.
