Deokyeol Jeong works on engineering yeasts and other microorganisms (such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Issatchenkia orientalis) to convert agricultural and food waste materials—like citrus peel, brewer's spent grain, corn kernels, and kitchen waste—into useful chemicals and fuels, including 3-hydroxypropionic acid, lactic acid, and ethanol. This work falls under metabolic engineering and biomass valorization, aiming to make production of these chemicals from waste more efficient and sustainable.
