PhD Studentship - Algae PhDs fellowship UK
PhD Studentship - Algae Dr Jonathan Lee , Dr Gary Stephen Caldwell Friday, May 31, 2024 Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide) About the Project PhD project part of the CDT in Process Industries: Net Zero . The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from the Process Intensification Group at Newcastle University. Microalgae are playing increasingly prominent roles in wastewater bioremediation, where their well-known ability to absorb metals, nitrogen and phosphorous is used in solar driven processes that clean up the wastewater. A process co-developed by Newcastle University and Northumbrian Water Ltd (NWL) and installed at the Bran Sands treatment works on Teesside, uses an ammonophilic microalga ( Chlorococcum sp.) originally isolated from Bran Sands to remediate ammonium from the site’s anaerobic digesters. The process is stable, well characterised, and is being implemented at scale. It is central to NWL’s nutrient neutrality and net zero ambitions
Professor Fritsch trained three students under him Professor M.O.P. Iyengar who established a school of phycology at Madras University, Professor Y. Bharadwaja who established a school of phycology at BHU and Professor A. K. Mitra who established a school of phycology at Allahabad. The matter of great prestige is that the image of Draparnaldiopsis indica Bharadwaja get its place in 1st volume of his book with proper acknowledgement. Everybody has heard the name of Professor Govindjee who is an alumni of Allahabad University and his special was phycology.

ReplyDeleteProf. G.E.Fogg, FRS worked at Westfield college, London, started algal physiology and biochemistry was the student of Frisch. Five Indian phycologists were students of Fogg. ERS Talpasayi, HD Kumar (both - BHU, Varanasi), H.Pattanaik (Berhampur Univ), Nomita Sen (Jabalpur) and SP Bajpayi (Sagar). Other algologists of Fogg’s group: WDP Stewart, P Fay, AE Walsby, Rosalie M Cox, BA Whitton, Thantun (Burma), SA Kulasooriya (Sri Lanka).
