Teaching focus:
Integration of chemical engineering with microbiology and biotechnology for
undergraduate and graduate engineering education.
Research focus:
Fundamental and applied research in the areas of biofuels, extremophilic bioprocessing,
and in situ biocatalyzed heavy metal transformations.
Dr. Brent
Peyton is a full Professor on the faculty of the Chemical and
Biological Engineering Department, and the NSF Center for Biofilm Engineering at
Montana State University. His research focus is on extremophilic
bioprocessing, in situ biocatalyzed heavy metal biotransformations, and growth
of algae for biodiesel production in natural and engineered biological systems.
 Before returning to MSU
in 2005, Dr. Peyton was
a tenured faculty
member at Washington State University for 8
years.
Prior to WSU, he was in the
Bioprocessing/Bioremediation Research Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
for 5 years.
He has authored and co-authored over
85 peer-reviewed scientific publications,
and holds four patents in environmental biotechnology.
