Finding the opportunity space for anaerobic technologies in industrial wastewater valorization

Dr. Jeremy Guest is the Levenick Professor and Director of the Levenick Center for a Climate-Smart Circular Bioeconomy at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He holds appointments in the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and, by courtesy, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The core goal of Professor Guest’s research group is to advance circular bioeconomies for a more sustainable and just future. His team supports this vision by developing computational models to prioritize research, development, and deployment pathways for new technologies that achieve resource recovery from wastewaters and the conversion of plants to products, food, and fuels. Professor Guest’s formal training includes a B.S. and M.S. in civil engineering from Bucknell University and Virginia Tech, respectively, and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Michigan.
