She was awarded the medal for: "The development of a yeast-based technology that is able to co-ferment sugars extracted from plants to produce ethanol, and for optimizing this technology for large-scale and cost-effective production of renewable biofuels and industrial chemicals."[3]
President Obama's citation at the award ceremony read:
Ho’s work will lead to large-scale and cost-effective production of renewable biofuels and industrial chemicals.
In 2006, Ho founded GreenTech America Inc. in West Lafayette, Indiana.[7] Ho is also the President of GreenTech America Inc. Ho is known for the yeast called Ho-Purdue Yeast.[4]
