Biography

Se-Kwon Kim is a distinguished professor in the Department of Marine-Bio Convergence Science and the director of the Marine Bioprocess Research Center at Pukyong National University, Busan, South Korea. He received his M.Sc and Ph.D from Pukyong National University, and conducted his postdoctoral studies at the Laboratory of Biochemical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, USA. He has served as a visiting scientist at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Canada; president of the Korean Society of Chitin and Chitosan and the Korean Society of Marine Biotechnology; chairman of the 7th Asia-Pacific Chitin and Chitosan Symposium; and chief editor at the Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Science. Widely published, Dr. Kim holds 76 patents and is a board member of the International Society of Marine Biotechnology and the International Society of Nutraceuticals and Functional Food.

Choul-Gyun Lee is a professor in the Department of Biological Engineering at Inha University, Incheon, South Korea. He is also the director of the National Marine Bioenergy Research and Development Consortium funded by the Korean government, president of the Korean Society of Marine Biotechnology, chair of the Interdisciplinary Program on Future Energy Engineering, and head of the Institute of Industrial Biotechnology as well as the Lipidomics Research Center. He received his Ph.D from the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, and worked on the Advance Life Support Team at NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA before joining Inha University, where he has held a number of administrative positions. In addition, Dr. Lee has served as either an editorial board member or an associate editor for six different journals.

"… presents a wide knowledge coverage, from marine biomass, biofuel sources, biotechnological and production techniques in marine bioenergy, marine waste for bioenergy, microbial fuel cells, and bioelectricity to global business. The collection of chapters is a remarkable contribution of various researchers from South Korea, Canada, China, USA, UK, India, Thailand, Turkey, Hong Kong, Japan, and Indonesia. … The book is a one-stop information resource from molecules to commercialization."
