Six McKelvey Engineering faculty among world’s highly cited researchers

The faculty rank among the top 1% by citations for their field in the past decade.

Researchers in the labs of Joshua Yuan in the McKelvey School of Engineering and Susie Dai at the University of Missouri used electrocatalysis of carbon dioxide to turn carbon dioxide into intermediates that are then converted by microbes into lipids, or fatty acids, and ultimately became biodiesel feedstock. The process is much more efficient that photosynthesis and uses significantly less land than soybean-based biodiesel. (Credit: Kainan Chen)

Novel electro-biodiesel a more efficient, cleaner option to existing alternatives

Joshua Yuan, Susie Dai and colleagues at WashU and Texas A&M create biodiesel with electrocatalysis and bioconversion.
