Research Projects

Members of the EMB Laboratory work on a variety of research

projects in the broad field of biological processes of environmental

engineering. The principle goal is to optimize engineered processes

for maximum microbial growth and metabolism and to understand

and quantify behavior of microorganisms in natural and engineered

environments.
