Cesar B. Granda, Ph.D.
Dr. Granda has been involved with biomass conversion to chemicals and fuels since 1997 conducting research in almost all unit operations of the process.  He has experience in the sugar industry as well.  Many technical publications and patents in these areas have resulted. 
In his research, he has been involved in the preservation of sugarcane juice for processing into sugar and ethanol, pretreatment of sorghum & sugarcane fiber to increase biological digestibility, enzymatic degradation of sugarcane fibers into simple sugars for ethanol production, mixed & fermentation of lignocellulosic residues, conversion of organic acids and salts into alcohols (isopropanol and ethanol).
