Primary Research Task: Production of Hydrogen as a Potential Fuel Source Using the Photosystems of Algae and Photosynthetic Bacteria As a graduate in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State University, I realized that it was necessary for future scientists to be competent in multiple disciplines in order to be successful in industry. The University of Tennessee’s STAIR program provides a uniquely integrated course of study and opportunities to do innovative research. My areas of interest are in molecular biology and biotechnology, so the opportunity to integrate studies in engineering with biological research was a great match. During my undergraduate studies, I pursued a minor in biotechnology and participated in research projects that utilized microorganisms to remediate the environment. This research furthered my interest in developing biological approaches to solve environmental problems, including wasteful and non-renewable energy. I believe it is necessary for humans to use their knowledge of science to understand the environment to live better without disturbing its natural balance.
