Cohen Laboratory

Department of Biology

Our research program explores three primary lines of investigation:

(1) utilization of native aquatic vegetation to ‘scrub’ treated wastewater by removing nutrients and man-made pollutants; (2) production of biofuel by anaerobic digestion of harvested aquatic vegetation in combination with agricultural waste; and (3) application of spent digestate as a soil amendment to promote plant growth and suppress root disease. 

• Biomass from sun, air and wastewater

• Biomass to energy

• Soil improvement
