Biography
Anthony Lau obtained his BSc (Eng.) and MSc degrees in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Guelph and PhD degree in Interdisciplinary Studies/Bioresource Engineering from the University of British Columbia. Currently, he is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at UBC. He is a member of the Biomass and Bioenergy Research Group within the Clean Energy Research Center. His research interest is in the area of waste management for resource recovery, focusing on two major sub-areas: 1) biomass feedstock engineering, and 2) bioconversion processes and systems. Biomass feedstock engineering may include the preprocessing, storage and quality improvement/management of lignocellulosic waste biomass as some of the major components of the supply chain logistics. Studies on bioconversion processes and systems are primarily aerobic composting and anaerobic fermentation of non-woody waste biomass.
