Strategic Objectives
• Master the science of Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP).
• Understand the chemical triggers of seawater-sourced sand solidification.
• Deploy self-healing biological materials in high-pressure marine environments.
• Reduce the carbon footprint of coastal infrastructure through biocementation.
The Core Challenge
Traditional maritime construction relies on carbon-heavy cement and invasive dredging that destroys fragile aquatic ecosystems.
