Biography:
Max is a chemical oceanographer and analytical chemist who studies the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, trace metals and volatile bromocarbons in the marine environment. His research activities include the development of autonomous miniaturized chemical analyzers, nutrient and volatile bromocarbon cycling in aquaculture settings and the application of passive nutrient removal technologies to mitigate eutrophication in estuarine and coastal systems.
Max obtained his Ph.D. in Oceanography at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in 2014, where he studied the distributions of dissolved Fe and Al in the Indian Ocean and pioneered the application of micro Sequential Injection to the analysis of trace metals at sub-nanomolar levels in seawater. He later joined the University of Southampton National Oceanography Center as a postdoctoral research fellow, where he contributed to the development and oceanographic validation of in situ Lab-On-Chip phosphate analyzers. He joined the MLML faculty in 2018.
Research Interests:
- Marine biogeochemistry of trace metals
- Nutrient dynamics in coastal systems
- Chemical sensors (nutrients, trace metals, carbonate parameters)
- Ocean Observing Systems
- Seaweed Aquaculture (nutrient removal, bromocarbon emissions)
