Research and Teaching Interests
Dr. Bin Yang works in the BSysE Bioenergy and Bioproducts Engineering research emphasis area at the Bioproducts, Sciences & Engineering Laboratory, Washington State University, Tri-Cities.
Dr. Yang has dedicated most of his career to the development of renewable energy technologies with particular emphasis on production of biofuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass feedstocks and other sustainable resources. His current research interests lie in areas of pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and novel pathways that accelerate commercial application of biomass processing to cellulosic and lignin fuels and chemicals.
