Research Description
Dr. Wangpraseurt is developing biomimetic materials to boost coral recruitment and survival, key steps in coral reef recovery. These technologies, including the bioactive gel SNAP-X, release chemical cues that mimic the “smell” of healthy reefs and promote coral settlement and survival. Using nature-inspired design, these materials address a major bottleneck in restoration efforts by helping coral larvae settle and thrive in degraded environments.
