Tri Nguyen-Quang, an assistant professor and researcher in Dal ACā€™s department of engineering, has been working on research that applies to biosystems, agricultural andenvironmental fields. His new biofluids and biosystems modeling lab was Ģżrecently officially opened at Dal AC.

ā€œI do a little different type of research. Itā€™s observation of phenomenon, then I collect data and analyze ā€¦ and predict phenomenon,ā€ said Nguyen-Quang, adding he uses mathematics and physical, mechanical and biological backgrounds to deal with the natural pattern in living organisms.

One of the many projects Nguyen-Quang is studying is the phenomenon of blue-green algae that changes the colour of entire bodies of water.

ā€œThe problem exists in Nova Scotia ā€¦ some are toxic and some are not and some, we donā€™t know yet,ā€ said Nguyen-Quang, adding the problem is occurring in other places around the world.
