Thaddeus Chukwuemeka Ezeji

Thaddeus Chukwuemeka Ezeji's research focuses on using bacteria (especially Clostridium species) to convert plant materials and agricultural waste into useful chemicals and fuels, such as butanol, acetone, and butyric acid, which can serve as biofuels or industrial feedstocks. Much of the work addresses both the biology of these microbes and the engineering challenges of recovering and separating the products efficiently during fermentation, alongside economic evaluation of these processes. This research sits at the intersection of microbiology, biochemical engineering, and sustainable/renewable energy production.

Publication output has been relatively steady over the past decade with year-to-year fluctuation, followed by a notable increase in output in 2024 and 2026.
