Undergraduate opportunites

I work to increase the sustainability of the blue planet by linking science, technology, and innovation to transform the world's aquaculture systems. I am interested in the areas of food production, aquariums, and the wildlife trade. As a student, you would receive broad training in practical research and hatchery methods in animal production, and also on mining and interpreting large datasets. My current research projects with opportunities for undergraduates include:

• developing new sensor technology to detect algal and vibrio blooms that can increase food safety risks of oyster production;
• the international trade in aquatic wildlife with a goal to create tools to detect wildlife trafficking;
• ecological impacts of fisheries and aquaculture products and how that influences sustainability portfolios; and
• understanding host susceptibility in the onset of shell disease in American lobsters.
