Project 106：Microalgae and Ecosystem Sustainability

Contact Information:

Assoc. Prof. Ji Li

Project Description and Objectives:

Marine biology internships offer you the opportunity to learn how to become a marine biologist while getting experiences and skills in marine ecosystem research. In the midst of many global environmental challenges (melting ice caps, declining species, climate change, eutrophication, plastic pollution, yikes), marine biology and ecology is a field that is not only increasing with opportunities and positions, but also is desperate for more people to join and find solutions for the future. The field can quite literally save the world.

This internship is for students interested in marine science. The program includes lectures, lab training, field trips, and hands-on activities. This internship will give you the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in microalgae-related marine ecological research, data collection, educational techniques, and greater insight into the work of a marine biologist.

Eligibility Requirements:

Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Main Tasks:

Propose a novel design/application of microalgae in the scope of project.

Give two research presentations (a. references review; b. technical presentation).

Finish a research report in this project.
