Biografia do Autor

Rafael Hernandez, Mississippi State University

Rafael Hernandez has a B.S. (1993) and M.S. (1995) in chemical engineering from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, and a Ph.D. (2002) in chemical engineering from Mississippi State University (MSU), Mississippi State, MS. He worked forthe U.S. Army Corp of Engineers' Engineering Research and Development Center (1994-1997) on the development, design, and implementation of groundwater treatment technologies. Presently, he works as an assistant professor in the Dave C. Swaim School of Chemical Engineering at MSU. His research interests are the development of technologies forthe remediation of contaminated media and the use of biomass for producing value-added chemicals.

Trent Jeffreys, Mississippi State University

Trent Jeffreys has a B.S. (2004) in chemical engineering from Mississippi State University. Currently, he works for Albemarle Corporation in Orangeburg, SC as a process technology engineer. He has worked on projects for cost reductions, automation and control system development, and sample campaigns for new products in the Fine Chemicals Division.

Anirudha Marwaha, Mississippi State University
