Research Interests
Aidong's research interests lie in developing methods and tools for modelling chemical/biochemical processes and related systems and in applying models and other systems engineering approaches to support the development of sustainable energy, engineering and manufacturing systems.
In particular, his group is currently active in three areas: biological systems engineering, food-energy-water nexus, and negative emission technology.
