Charles Xu

Dr. Xu’s research is centered on development of bio-energy and high-value bioproducts (biofuels, biochemicals and biomaterials) from bioresources (e.g. agro-forest biomass/residues, municipal solid wastes and wastewater sludge) via thermochemical and catalytic conversion processes. In addition, Dr. Xu is active in upgrading of heavy residual oil via hydro-treatment and recovery of organics from oil sands tailing water.
