About this Scientist:
Peter Girguis works at Harvard University as an associate professor in deep sea biology with special interests in hydrothermal vent ecosystems and animal-microbe symbioses. His scientific training as a physiologist also cultivated a "gear head" instinct, which melds synergistically with his inquisitive nature. As a result, he enjoys collaborating with engineers and machinists to develop and test new scientific instrumentation for extreme environments and microbial fuel cell technologies.[more]
