Professor of Bacteriology, and has been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for more than 20 years. During this time, his research program has focused on solar energy utilization by photosynthetic bacteria, studying the process and control of photosynthesis and how cells divert the energy captured from sunlight into different pathways. He has been a member of various federal research panels, has served on several editorial boards and advisory committees in microbiology, and helped author reports for the Department of Energy on solar energy generation and the conversion of plant biomass into biofuels. He has experience in leading crossdisciplinary research programs such as the National Institute of General Medical Sciences Biotechnology Training Program. More recently, he was named head of the US Department of Energy Office of Science-funded Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center.
