Microbial Electrochemical Technology Laboratory

Welcome to the Microbial Electrochemical Technology Laboratory (MET Lab) at Utah State University! In MET Lab, we study and engineer electroactive bacteria, which are very speical for their bacterial superpower of conducting electricity! We aim to unravel the mysteries of these remarkable microorganisms and harness their superpower for microbial electrochemical technology. We are passionate about using microbial electrochemical technology to confront some of the most pressing global challenges related to energy, water, and food sustainability. Our research encompasses a diverse range of topics, including:

• Bio-hydrogen and bio-products production

• Carbon dioxide capture

• Biosystem modeling using biosensors and machine learning algorithms.
