Md Tahmeed Hossain is a PhD candidate based at the Algae Innovation Hub of Murdoch University. His doctoral research focuses on the cultivation and optimisation of a newly isolated alkaliphilic cyanobacterium, Sodalinema sp., for product development. “There are many aspects of the project that I enjoy, but what excites me most is working with a newly isolated, fast-growing cyanobacterium that thrives in highly alkaline conditions that greatly minimise the risk of contamination from other microorganisms.”, Tahmeed shares.
Hossain’s supervisory team includes Professor Navid Moheimani, Dr Damian Laird, and Dr Ashiwin Vadiveloo.
He is the recipient of a Future Food Systems CRC top-up scholarship.
