Adina Boyce
PhD, Biological Systems Engineering, UC Davis
Adina’s comprehensive PhD work in upstream development and downstream application of biochar soil mediation draws on extensive engineering expertise in biodiesel production, transportation management and waste treatment, as well as a personal love of agriculture in a global context that honors diverse cultural perspectives.
Adina is enthusiastically seeking ways to enhance the productivity and sustainability of agriculture and affected ecosystems. Her work with Dr. Bryan M. Jenkins, Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, directly addresses the longterm maintenance of soils for sustainable food production while simultaneously influencing markets for renewable energy through coproduct utilization, reducing waste, and potentially increasing carbon storage to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
