Ashutosh Mittal's dissertation work was focused on studying the kinetics of hemicellulose (sugars) extraction from hardwoods (sugar maple and aspen) during hot water extraction (autohydrolysis). At NREL, he is actively involved in research on biomass pretreatment and conversion of biomass-derived sugars to fuels and chemicals.
