Prabuddha holds a M.Sc. in Botany and PhD in Energy and Environment Convergence. In addition to helping manage the lab and coordinate student researchers, his research efforts are supported by the Department of Energy. He is
New picture, hot off the presses (to be updated when it isn’t so windy!).
Scott and Dave are our commercial collaborators, and creators of the MiProbe sensor systems, which are deployed on both CAP canals as well as many of the AzCATI testbed ponds. Vanessa and Keval are both ERM MS students who have just joined the CAP project, and will be collecting field samples for correlation with MiProbe sensor signals.
As both an ASU graduate and current Burge Environmental employee, Evan is deeply involved in all aspects of developing the MiProbe technology. His academic thesis, however, focused primarily on developing the novel data analy
Brendan graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, which included an applied project in the Weiss lab, working toward developing precision CO2 controllers for algae cultivation using off-the-shelf components and the Burge
Jordan is student in the ASU Barret Honors College. Her Honors Thesis research includes using MiProbes to observe plant seedling rhizosphere development in response to nutrition, salinity stress, and/or algae-based biostimula
Harrison completed his MS in 2021, titled “Monitoring Algal Abundance, Water Quality, And Deploying Microbial Sensors Along the Central Arizona Project.” Over two years, he conducted field surveys of the Central Arizona Proje
Jordan is a current ASU student. Over one semester, Jordan designed the foundational elements of the graphics interface that will enable remote sensor data accessibility to a wide array of users, especially those who wish to
Deyang completed his MS in 2021, titled “The Application of a Novel Microbial Sensor on Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).” Over one year, he conducted experiments using the autonomous sensors we routinely apply to algae cultu
Hannah expects to complete her MS in 2022. She completed an Applied Project over six months evaluating the methodology of sampling (harvesting, storage, processing) for N and P quantitation from Arizona surface waters. Hint:
From 2021-2022, Dorsa and Nilanjana Mazumdar worked on the Central Arizona Project canal project, recording observations of the involved ecosystems, collecting water samples, and identifying samples pertinent to nuisance algae mitigation.
