Terrance Meinardus

I am currently attending the University of New England and major in Marine Science: Oceanography concentration and major in Chemistry with a minor in Applied Mathematics. I expect to graduate next year 2024-2025.

My academic goals are to achieve a PhD in oceanography and then use that to be able to become a researcher and mainly research with phytoplankton. HAB’s, mixotrophy, and anything phytoplankton are what I would like to research.

This scholarship will help me this next year with my tuition to be able to continue my undergraduate degree and maybe help me buy some materials for a current research project that we are currently working on. Overall, these funds will help me be able to continue my undergraduate research and obtain the knowledge I need to continue my career as a researcher.

I am currently not working with any Sea Grant people I think, but I am working with Maine Space Grant on my current project.
