Dr. Lupoi earned a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at Iowa State University, where he combined his passion for and allegiance to evaluating plants using diverse analytical tools, such as spectroscopy, creating a line of research that resulted in two postdoctoral appointments for the University of Queensland/Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and the National Renewable Energy Lab. The aspiration of these projects was to identify plants possessing ideal phenotypic traits suitable for conversion to bio-based fuels and materials.
Dr. Lupoi has led research projects focused on the design of multivariate analysis data models for the rapid screening of a diverse array of plants, including cannabis. He serves as a technical expert at the RJ Lee Group, Inc. for auditing and approving cannabis testing laboratories, and is also a member of the Research Advisory Committee for the Pennsylvania Medical Cannabis Society.
“Dr. Lupoi brings the highest level of scientific expertise to our readership and access to some of the most fascinating research taking place in the study of medicinal cannabis.
