A Bit About Me!
I'm Noah, an aspiring physician and researcher from Texas. Beyond routinely competing in science fairs, I also enjoy playing guitar, piano, and trombone, running a nutrition organization, and volunteering.
Research Investigation:
Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation Phenotype of Bacillus Subtilis 168 on the Reduction of Underground CO2 Efflux Via Soil-Consolidation
A Condensed Statement Summarizing My Project:
In my biochemistry/agriculture study, I cultured and deployed a limestone-precipitating
bacteria into soil containers to minimize porosity. The implications of administering this compaction mechanism include:
​
- Enhanced nutrient retention
- Leaching prevention
- Secure storage of CO2 underground
