Tony Pham

Former undergraduate intern

Tony Pham worked in the Agroecology lab over the summer of 2017. He received a dual BA/MA degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at Boston University. Tony worked with Dani Weissman and John Dietrich to study the effect saltwater intrusion has on legacy nutrient release within coastal farmland. He hopes to use this field experience to supplement his background in biotechnology and develop a novel approach to sustainability. He gained this passion for nature and sustainability through his work with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) building and repairing trails in National Parks, including nearby Greenbelt National Park. Through this work with SCA he saw the benefits nature can have on communities and is dedicated to conserving the environment for future generations.
