Professor Barry Goodell has over 29 years of experience in the sustainable biomaterials and wood science and engineering fields, including work in bioconversion and bioenergy, structural biocomposites, and sustainable nanomaterials fields. He holds a Doctorate from Oregon State University was previously a Professor at the University of Maine. He also previously was the Head of the Department of Sustainable Biomaterials Department which was restructured with that name under Dr. Goodell’s leadership. He currently serves as a Professor in that department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). Dr. Goodell has published over one hundred articles on wood and biomaterials degradation and protection, biochemical mechanisms related to free radical bioconversion processes, engineered wood composites as related to FRPs and PMCs and the development of novel products including advanced hybrid biocomposites. He also holds four patents and two provisional patents, with other patents pending.

Dr. Goodell’s current research interests include:

• Bioprocessing and Bioconversion of woody biomass and lignocellulose materials,
• Production of Carbon Nanotubes, Mesoporous carbon and Nanofibers from Wood and Plant Materials, and
• Biocomposites, Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) and Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) Production.

Dr. Goodell’s visit in France to work with the IAM and LERMAB research units is funded by the University of Lorraine and LabEx ARBRE.
