Overview

Jerold M. Schultz was affiliated with the University of Delaware in the United States. Their research predominantly focused on engineering, with notable work across subfields such as biomedical engineering, building and construction, mechanical engineering, control and systems engineering, and environmental engineering.

The scientist contributed significantly to several topics within the engineering field. Their main research areas included biofuel production and bioconversion, anaerobic digestion and biogas production, thermochemical biomass conversion processes, process optimization and integration, phase equilibria and thermodynamics, environmental impact and sustainability, and lignin and wood chemistry.

They authored multiple research papers, several of which were published in well-regarded venues within their fields of study. Selected recent publications included:

  • Deep eutectic solvent pretreatment of cork dust - Effects on biomass composition, phenolic extraction and anaerobic degradability, 2024, Waste Management
  • Influence of vapothermal and hydrothermal pre-treatment on anaerobic degradability of lignocellulosic biomass, 2025, Bioresource Technology
  • Deep eutectic solvent pre-treatment of residual biomass streams - Effects on anaerobic degradability, 2025, Renewable Energy
  • Long-Term Continuous Anaerobic Co-digestion of Residual Biomass-Model Validation and Model-Based Investigation of Different Carbon-to-Nitrogen Ratios, 2025, BioEnergy Research

They also had contributions in works such as the prediction of anaerobic degradation kinetics based on substrate composition of lignocellulosic biomass, published in Bioresource Technology Reports in 2024.

Their frequent collaborators included Marvin Scherzinger, Martin Kaltschmitt, Asli Isci, Simel Bagder Elmaci, and Dicle Delal Aslanhan. Publication venues that often featured their research included Bioresource Technology, SSRN Electronic Journal, Waste Management, Renewable Energy, and BioEnergy Research.
