The Bioenergy Center conducts fundamental research toward the development of advanced thermochemical biomass conversion technology for the efficient, economic production of liquid transportation fuels and hydrogen. Key partnerships include SUNY-Stony Brook, Argonne National Lab, Oak Ridge National Lab, National Renewable Energy Lab, Research Triangle Institute and Southern Research.
√ AST Applied Chemistry Ph.D.
√ MS Chemistry program
√ MS Chemical Engineering
Biosciences
The goals of graduate study in the Biosciences are to provide students with the training, guidance, experience, and opportunities to participate in research that will allow them to make the transition from being interested consumers of biological knowledge to being full, participating members of the biological profession. As such, they will be able to recognize the limits of our current biological knowledge and to use that insight to design and conduct research that addresses those limits. They will carry out research with the skill and integrity necessary to advance our level of knowledge.
√ AST Bioscience Ph.D.
√ MS Biology
√ P.S.M. in Industrial Biosciences
Data Sciences
The application of data science across nearly every industry is one of the most important undertakings of the 21st century. From health care to government to business, data has never been so wildly obtainable and relied upon to help people do their best work.
Upon completion of study in Data Science graduate programs students will be able to:
- Leverage computational tools
- Model, analyze, and extract information from data
- Use simulations and visualization
- Apply important privacy, security, and ethical issues related to the use of data
√ AST Data Science & Analytics Ph.D.
√ MS Applied Mathematics

What do our students say?
I have a passion for solving problems with cancer, specifically Endometrial Cancer. There is a big disparity in the survivor-ship of women of color with this cancer in particular. I have already secured a post-doctorate position to further my research. The Applied Science and Technology Ph.D. has given me the knowledge, confidence and credentials to pursue ground-breaking solutions.
Sherette Godfrey - AST Ph.D. Student

His research focuses on using an apple flavonoid known as phloretin to trap a significant biomarker of lipid peroxidation - 4-HNE - that has been implicated in several diseases like cancers, obesity, and diabetes. The work was recognized for how he used chemistry to explain how foods rich in dietary flavonoids can induce beneficial outcomes in our human body.
The history and importance of HBCUs
Historically Black colleges and universities, known as HBCUs, and their alums have played a crucial role in the history of the United States.

My research looks at the feasibility of using technology as a tool for providing stable and equitable employment opportunities for marginalized groups of people like previously incarcerated individuals through training and certifications. The framework creates a social system of reciprocity between IT companies and previously incarcerated individuals where they provide services each other needs. My research measures the willingness to participate in the exchange as well as other important characteristics of a successful social exchange such as trust, social contract, communication, and bias between both groups.
