Gina Shreve is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Wayne State University. With expertise in biocatalysis, environmental microbiology, and sensor development, her research spans multiphase reactor design, biosurfactant applications, and membrane bioreactor systems for environmental remediation.
- Education:
- Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan (1991)
- M.S., Microbiology & Immunology, University of Michigan (1986)
- B.S., Biochemistry (University of Michigan)
Her work focuses on:
- Molecular dynamics simulations of surfactant micelle structures
- Development of pathogen/environmental toxin detection sensors
- Protein structure/function modeling for serine proteases
- Bioremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons in anaerobic systems
- Transport phenomena in membrane bioreactors
- Computational analysis of biosurfactant-enhanced hydrocarbon degradation
Recent publications demonstrate strong emphasis on biosurfactant characterization, environmental sensor development, and hydrocarbon degradation mechanisms. Her group combines experimental data with computational modeling to optimize bioremediation processes.
Scientific recognition includes:
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding
- National Science Foundation (NSF) grants
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awards
- US Patent #6,848,295 for acoustic wave sensor technology
Active in education, she teaches core chemical engineering courses including CHE3820 - Chemical Engineering Laboratory and CHE3220 - Measurements Laboratory. Her research integrates experimental methods with theoretical modeling for environmental and biosynthetic applications.
