FBRI graduate students from around the world, the USA and Maine are an integrral part of our research team. They include
the third generation of a Maine logging family as well as an aspiring researcher from Honduras intent on starting a bioproducts business iin his home town forest. Their research is equally diverse: seeking more efficient havesting solutions, extracting hemicellulose wood fibers for eventual fermentation, changing wood nanocrystals through the innovative use of fungi and even creating extruded wood plastic composites for use in commercial applications.
