Current research: Exploring the nature of algal-bacterial symbiosis and its benefits for a commercial scale algal biofuel production process
My PhD research aims to shed light on fundamental algal biology, which may be useful to the biofuels industry. I study algal interactions with other species, such as bacteria that grow in a close symbiotic association with the algae. These interactions are important in furthering our understanding of natural algal communities, which form the foundation of aquatic productivity, but may also be harnessed in a commercial context. I test my findings in a Life Cycle Analysis of a putative algal production process.
