Research
Abby has been working on the project that she started with her team as a first year in Grand Challenges for the past two years. She is working on developing a sustainable way to remove phosphates from water in order to stop algal blooms and other issues like red tide from occurring. She spends a lot of time in lab refining her solution and was able to go to a conference in Tampa to present her work last year.
