FORT PIERCE — FAU Harbor Branch will host Deirdre Meldrum, Ph.D., for a special lecture titled “Oceanomics and Sensorbots” on Wednesday, May 1, at 4 p.m. in the Johnson Education Center, 5600 US 1 N. in Fort Pierce.
The presentation, part of the HBOI Ocean Science Lecture Series, will highlight a promising new chapter in the exploration of the oceans. Meldrum will discuss her work on sensorbots, which are spherical devices equipped with biogeochemical sensors that can be deployed by the hundreds, travel in formation and communicate together for exploration and discovery.
Meldrum is a senior scientist and serves as the director of the Center for Biosignatures Discovery Automation at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University.
