Dr. Qiangu Yan is a postdoctoral associate at Mississippi State University with a PhD in Chemistry. He has been performing catalytic conversion research for over 20 years. He has provisional patent with Dr. Yu on “Process and catalysts for Converting Biomass/Municipal Solid Wasters (MSW) derived syngas to liquid hydrocarbon mixtures and oxygenates by a single stage”. Dr. Yan will spend 20 hours a week through the duration of the MegaWatt ventur

Jason Street is a graduate student pursuing his PhD with 4 years of experience in gasification and thermochemical conversion technologies. Jason is experienced in simulation software for building heat transfer models to overcome exothermic heat transfer issues that result when using the types of catalysts associated with creating highly valued hydrocarbon products. Based on these computer models, he has successfully designed and created softwar
