The irony is not lost on Ron Sims, a biological engineering professor at Utah State University, that when he was a graduate student, people were trying to find ways to kill algae rather than turn it into a useful bioproducts.

Because that’s exactly the kind of thing Sims is trying to do, whether it’s in his bioenergy lab on the USU Innovation Campus in North Logan or the Sustainable Waste to Bioproducts Engineering Center, a collaboration between Logan City Environmental Department and USU.
