YOUSSEF HABIBI, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of
Forest Bio-materials at North Carolina State University. His
research investigates biocomposites and biomaterials engineering;
cellulose nanocrystals self-assembly; natural fibers; reinforced
polymer composites and nanocomposites; the isolation, analysis,
treatment, and chemical modification and utilization of biomass
components; and surface modification of natural fibers and their
nanocrystals.

LUCIAN A. LUCIA, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department
of Forest Biomaterials at North Carolina State University. His
recent work focuses on the chemistry of wood pulping processes,
with an emphasis on hydrosulfide chemistry. Dr. Lucia cofounded and
coedits BioResources, dedicated to advanced applications of
lignocellulosics.
