Internationally known for his work on chromatography modeling and scale-up, Tingyue Gu authored the chromatography simulation package Chromulator, used by dozens of university researchers in more than thirty countries, and by several major pharmaceutical and biotech companies. He also has carried out research in protein purification, as well as in fungal and bacterial fermentation. Since 2002, Gu has focused on biofilms and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in the oil and gas industry, and other industries. He is specifically interested in MIC mechanism, biofilm ecology, MIC in underdeposit pitting attacks, enhanced biocide treatment, and mechanistic modeling and prediction of MIC. He leads the MIC-JIP research program at the Institute for Corrosion and Multiphase Technology. Before joining the Russ College faculty in 1992, Gu worked in the biotechnology group at Miller Brewing Company’s corporate research department, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While there, he helped develop a pilot-scale process for production of a rare and naturally occurring recombinant protein. He is an associate editor of Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering (Springer).
