I led a DOE-funded project pursuing the use of filamentous algae as a supplement in animal feed. After recruiting, organizing, and training a team of researchers, I directed their daily lab operations and presided over an outdoor pilot-scale algae cultivation system. Weekly meetings with program supervisors and lab staff ensured the project was meeting its goals. Upon departure, I assisted in the training of several other undergraduate scientists.• Led a DOE-funded project analyzing filamentous algae and established SOPs for its continued success• Recruited and trained a team of five undergraduates while directing daily lab operations and project focus• Managed four 1000L pilot ponds in an outdoor facility and maintained over a dozen stock cultures indoors• Calibrated instruments in the field and kept maintenance logs to ensure data validity• Devised an efficient method for outdoor cultivation and ID’d suitable algae species, meeting project goals• Provided data analysis, progress reports and follow-up hypotheses to supervisory staff via weekly meetings• Assisted in the structural maintenance of the pilot facility and in the construction of algae raceway ponds
