... He is currently director of the Center for Environmental Biotechnology, where his research into assessment of the microbial ecology of biofilms and subsurface sediments has been used in monitoring microbial biofilms in contained life support systems and in protection of potable water systems for space habitability. He has served on NASA and SSB committees for planetary biology and chemical evolution, global habitability, and major directions in space science and has won awards from the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy for scientific achievement in work on subsurface science and bioremediation.
