Biography: Dr Daniel Wangpraseurt is an interdisciplinary marine biologist, and his research is broadly placed at the interface between marine biology, engineering, and physics. His work includes coral reef science, microalgal photobiology, optical modelling, bio-imaging, 3D bioprinting and microenvironmental ecology. Currently, he is developing new 3D bioprinting approaches for a biomimetic coral-algal symbiosis model system, artificial coral reefs and microalgal cultivation. He is an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Marine Science and the project lead for Mantaz, a social enterprise that uses novel reef technologies and a circular economy approach to restore degraded reefs.
