Biography
Bor-Yann Chen has expertise in biomass energy and environemntal biotechnology. His serial stuides focused on applications in wastewater treatment, bioremediation engineering, biofuel cells. He completed PhD from University of California, Irvine in 1995 and used to be NRC awarded Research Associate to work in NRMRL/US EPA, Cincinnati Ohio. He is Professor, Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, National I-Lan University, Taiwan. He has published 150+ SCI-peer reviewed papers in reputed journals and has many National Awards (e.g., Professor Yen-Ping Shih Best Paper Awards of 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2016 from Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers).
Research Interest
This first-attempt study used extracts of appropriate antioxidant abundant Camellia and non-Camellia tea and medicinal herbs as model electron shuttles (ESs) to stably augment bioelectricity generation performance in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). As ESs (or redox mediators) could stimulate electron transport phenomena by considerable reduction of electron transfer resistance, the efficiency of power generation for energy extraction in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) could be appreicably augmented
