LORRE People

The Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering, LORRE, was established in 1978 to carry out research on transforming renewable resources to liquid fuels. The role of the Laboratory in multidisciplinary research evolved over its 31-year history from biofuels research to its current function as an Integrative Center for Biotechnology and Engineering with research in bioenergy, bioprocessing, bioproducts, biorecovery, and bionanotechnology. LORRE is multidisciplinary with cooperating scientists and engineers in the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering and Science, other universities, industry, and government laboratories. The Director is Dr. Michael R. Ladisch, Distinguished Professor of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, with appointments in The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, and the Department of Food Science.
