Brandon Gilroyed is an Associate Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences at Ridgetown Campus, University of Guelph. His research is interdisciplinary, focusing on the intersection of agriculture, environment, and renewable energy. He specializes in anaerobic digestion technology for the production of renewable energy from agricultural byproducts and wastes. His research involves understanding the microbial processes that convert organic substrates into methane and carbon dioxide, and optimizing these processes for enhanced energy production. He previously investigated the conversion of specified risk materials in the beef cattle industry, assessing the fate of infectious prion proteins during anaerobic digestion. His recent work includes exploring biohydrogen production from various waste materials including cattle manure and potato processing waste, as well as the composting of agricultural wastes to manage nutrients and reduce pathogens. He has a strong interest in the chemical and microbial processes involved in composting and the biodegradation of recalcitrant substrates.
