Senior R&D Scientist
YEEO EcoSafe, New Mexico, United States
Michael Workman, PhD is an interdisciplinary scientist with degrees in chemistry, physics, and nanoscience engineering. His research and development background spans a range of topics, from inexpensive fuel cell catalysts, to electrochemical actinide decontamination, to biomaterials for mosquito control. The common thread of these projects is their potential to improve peoples’ lives using environmentally conscious methods. As a co-inventor of Yeast Encapsulated Essential Oils for mosquito control, he engaged with vector control professionals across the country with the NSF’s National I-Corps Program. Through these visits, he became familiar with how mosquito control products are used, what challenges vector control professionals face, and the regulatory environment in which they operate.
