Undergraduates
Brian H. Harriman
Project: Brian conducted physiological experiments aimed at maximizing the production of lipid from microalgal biomass. He also developed a method for the rapid, simple, and colorimetric detection of lipids from algae (The Journal of Microbiological Methods. Vol. 80, p. 262-266). He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in virology involving zoonosis of animal viruses.
