Biography

John Beardall is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University, specializing in algal ecophysiology. His primary research focuses on the impacts of photosynthesis and global change on algae, which form the basis of freshwater and marine food chains. He studies the effects of ocean acidification on the biology of marine algae and investigates the factors driving the growth of toxic cyanobacteria, which cause problematic blooms in inland waterways. Beardall has a keen interest in the applied aspects of algal biology, particularly using algae for bioremediation of heavy-metal-contaminated water and cultivating algae for biofuels and other useful products. Although officially 'retired,' he remains active in publishing papers covering various topics related to his expertise, including algae, photosynthesis, carbon dioxide sequestration, and climate change.
