ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Bilal Bomani - NASA scientistBilal Bomani runs NASA’s Greenlab research facility, where he is developing the next generation of biofuels.
Why you should listen
As a senior NASA scientist, Bilal Bomani focuses on developing new and truly sustainable biofuels. After receiving two masters degrees from Cleveland State University, he earned his PhD in computer engineering from Case Western University. He currently runs the Greenlab Research Facility in Cleveland, Ohio, where he works on creating biofuels that don’t use freshwater, and meet his definition of green: sustainable, renewable and alternative.
