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

Prof. William Randolph Taylor (1895-1990) | Prominent Algologists around the World

              Prof.  William Randolph Taylor (December 21, 1895 – November 11, 1990) was an American Phycologist of international repute. He served as a Professor at the Department of Botany of the University of Michigan. His greatest contribution was to document a floristic account of benthic tropical marine algae of the Americas. 

Prof. William Randolph Taylor

He was the recipient of several honors including the first GM Smith Gold Medal in Phycology. He was a founding member of the Phycological Society of America. He was associated with Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. He has published a total of 122 papers and books on algae, which would be almost impossible for one person to accomplish such a feat again. All his marine algal floras are still relevant and referred (even after the gap of over a century) world over for identification of seaweeds, speaks worth of his meticulous work. Our beloved Dr. Francesca Thivy madam was his student.
