Microalgae Biofuel is a promising technology, which I believe can help to make our community sustainable. I tried my best to promote researches in our university, when I was a coordinator of Algal Biofuel Program at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I provided lectures to public, got an interview by our local radio station, participated Earth Day events. In addition, I have developed • Several prototype of photobioreactor

for lab scale and outdoor pilot scale production of algal biomass using municipal waste water,

• Electro-coagulation system to harvest microalgae from dilute growth media.

• Filter belt Press device to separate water from microalgae slurry. Microalgal Biofuel System
