Abigail S. Engelberth works on turning agricultural and food-processing waste streams into valuable products, such as biofuels, chemicals, and nutraceuticals like lutein and zeaxanthin recovered from corn ethanol byproducts. Much of the work involves techno-economic assessment and life cycle assessment—methods for estimating the costs, feasibility, and environmental impacts of scaling up these biomass conversion processes from lab to industrial scale.
