I am a researcher dedicated to unlocking sustainable pathways for biomass products, reducing waste, and enabling biomass to replace fossil resources across industries to lower carbon emissions. My work integrates lifecycle assessment, techno-economic analysis, machine learning, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to uncover innovative applications for biochar and other biomass-derived products, spanning sectors from transportation, chemical engineering and energy storage to metallurgy. 

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Science & Technology Beijing and completed my Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. My Ph.D. at KTH advanced from experimental biomass research to lifecycle and techno-economic analyses, incorporating machine learning to deepen insights into biomass valorization. At Nanjing Forestry University, I continued this work as a lecturer and assistant professor, applying machine learning to biochar, hard carbon, activated carbon, and hydrochar. Later I joined Carbon Removal Group at Berkeley, worked with Prof. Daniel Sancez on forestry biomass utilization planning in California and on Federal level.

Now as a junior professor at INRAE, I am integrating my expertise with GIS to support the French agricultural transition for bioeconomy and develop biomass-based solutions for sustainable industry practices.

I am actively looking for collaborations and motivated postdoc, PhD and student interns. Feel free to contact me at Shule.wang@inrae.fr.
