Medizone International, Inc., is a research and development company engaged in developing its AsepticSure™ technology to decontaminate and sterilize hospital surgical suites, emergency rooms, intensive care units, schools and other critical infrastructure. If current trials continue to proceed successfully they will be followed by a hospital mock-up and then hospital beta testing of the production prototype. Initial sales are targeted to commence in the 4 quarter of this year.

Creating Sustainable Alternatives

(Geography) – remote sensing, biomass estimation 

(Biology) – Research: My laboratory investigates the cellular mechanisms that plants use to cope with abiotic (cold, drought, etc.) and biotic (pathogen attack) stress. We are particularly interested in understanding the role of calcium ions as second messengers in stress-induced signal transduction pathways. Our research focuses on how calcium-binding proteins (often termed 'calcium sensors'), such as calmodulin and calmodulin-related proteins (CMLs), participate in the complex responses of plant cells to environmental stress.

(Biology) – molecular control of gene development in plants; biomass crop development

(Biology) – plant biochemistry and metabolic regulation

(Chemical Engineering) - biodecoloration of textile dye effluents, bioremediation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, applications of immobilized soil bioreactors, high-densit microbial production of a biodegradable thermoelastomer

(Chemical Engineering) - production of bioplastics (poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates) through fermentation processes

(Civil Engineering) - biomaterials for construction, especially straw bale construction

(Mechanical and Materials Engineering) - Research interests include the study of fundamental and practical aspects of various gaseous explosion and high-speed combustion phenomena. Examples of such phenomenon include turbulent flame propagation, flame acceleration, detonation waves, gasdynamics, and shock waves. Many of these phenomenon have direct application to industrial explosion safety, aircraft propulsion, and other practical devices.
