Dr. Kevin Gray is currently Director, Alternative Fuels at Diversa Corporation
in San Diego, CA. Dr. Gray has oversight responsibility in biofuels
R&D at Diversa. He has been at Diversa since 1997 holding a
variety of positions within the R&D organization. Prior to
joining Diversa, Dr. Gray was a staff scientist at Energy BioSystems
Corporation in The Woodlands, TX from 1994 until 1997. Dr. Gray
received his B.S. from Duke University in 1983 and his PhD in biochemistry
from Texas Tech University in 1988. Upon completion of his PhD,
Dr. Gray was awarded a European Molecular Biology Organization postdoctoral
fellowship to the Max Planck Institute in Martinsried, Germany (1988 – 1991). While
at the MPI, Dr. Gray studied the role of specific amino acid residues
in the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center under the direction of
Prof. Dieter Oesterhelt. Dr. Gray continued his studies in bioenergetics
by receiving an American Heart Association fellowship to the University
of Pennsylvania in 1991 where he stayed until 1994. At the University
of Pennsylvania Dr. Gray studied the mechanism of electron transfer in
cytochrome oxidase and the cytochrome bc1 complex. Dr. Gray
left the University of Pennsylvania in 1994 to join Energy BioSystems
Corp. At EBC Dr. Gray was responsible for the isolation and characterization
of a system of enzymes that carried out microbial desulfurization of
fossil fuels. Dr. Gray has published over 40 articles in peer
reviewed journals and is a named inventor on several patents and patent
applications.
