Research Interests:

1. Optimization of microalgae bioreactor cultivation and mechanisms involved in starch and lipid accumulation of microalgae cells in the bioreactors, especially focusing on the effects of regulations of operation on the photosynthesis process, e.g. developing method of feedback regulation basing on photosynthesis activities, the key responding targets of stress induced energy compounds accumulation. 

2. Development of novel immobilization methods and materials for energy industrial applications
