EMERG LAB

Bioreactors. Bioreactors are the heart of the lab. We have experience operating complex bioreactor systems with rigorous instrumentation and controls, but we also value cobbled together bioreactors made from spare tubing and used soda bottles. We also assess full-scale bioreactors throughout Vermont... GC-TCDs. We also have a GC with dual TCDs. We use this GC for monitoring headspace gasses in bioreactors, including carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane... To gain practical teaching experience, I asked my PhD advisor, Dr. Daniel Noguera, to help teach his graduate-level biological treatment processes course. This allowed me to develop lecture materials, assignments, a laboratory project, quizzes, and a final exam. Further, I gave most of the lectures for the course and regularly facilitated group work during lectures and labs. At this time, I had not yet completed any teaching courses, but I mirrored Dr. Noguera's approach to what I would later call "active learning", often having..
