Research summary
AI-generated

Dylan Cronin works on environmental science topics that span microbial genomics of wetland and permafrost ecosystems, and applied bioenergy research such as converting algae and biomass into fuels through hydrothermal liquefaction. Recent work includes producing large genomic datasets from microbial communities in Arctic peatland (Stordalen Mire) sites, as well as techno-economic studies on turning wastewater-grown algae into aviation fuel and extracting critical minerals from seawater algae. This combination suggests a research profile bridging environmental microbiology, climate-related ecosystem studies, and renewable energy/resource engineering.
