PROFILE

Can oysters remedy nitrogen pollutionTimothy Hoellein PhD assistant professor in biology has teamed up with Chester Zarnoch PhD assistant professor of environmental studies at Baruch College City University of New York for a two-year research study on ldquoThe Influence of Oysters on Sediment Nitrogen Cycling An Ecosystem Approachrdquo

Funded by the National Science Foun-dation (NSF) the study examines how two important variables oyster density and dissolved nitrogen concentration control the influence of oysters on sediment nitrogen cycling decreasing nitrogen pollution in New York City (NYC) waters In May 2010 oysters were placed at four different coastal NYC locations each with different levels of nitrogen density For the next two years researchers will mea-sure rates of oyster survivorship filtration excretion and sediment nitrogen trans-formations

The experiment will document the potential for re-introduction of the native oyster to NYC waters to reduce nitrogen pollution The studyrsquos results will help direct the selection of oyster restoration locations and densities which will provide the maximum benefits for enhancement of nitrogen removal

This semester Loyola professor Tim OrsquoBrien is teaching three classes advanced bio-statistics quantitative bioinformatics and a statistical con-sulting course for masterrsquos students

But as soon as spring break rolls around OrsquoBrien will be on a plane headed to Kampala Uganda to take the role of Professor in Residence at the Infectious Disease Institute of Makerere University

This is by no means his first trip across the world OrsquoBrien has made a career out of traveling and teaching and has held seminars and courses in many other countries For instance in June 2009 he taught Experimental and Optimal Design at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology in Viet-nam did an Applied Econometrics and Time Series workshop in Abu Dhabi in March 2010 and taught a short course on the Practical Aspects of Statistical Modeling at Zhejiang Wanli University in China in December

After his trip to Uganda in March OrsquoBrien will teach courses and give lectures in Fiji Ireland and Thailand to continue his mission to bring his statistical knowledge and mathemati-cal skills to people around the world

Loyola has officially received accreditation for a new semester program in Vietnam making Loyola the first American university to obtain a license in the country for educational activities

Loyolarsquos Vietnam Center is based on the campus of Vietnam National University in Saigon-Ho Chi Minh City Coursework for the new program consists of 12 to 15 credit hours based on three different academic components Requisites include a Vietnamese language class and UNIV 292 a seminar on development in Vietnam and the way this change has affected its citizens

The program which also includes a number of academic excursions to Cu Chi the Mekong Delta Vietnamrsquos central and northern regions and Cambodia will be able to accommodate 30 students each semester The first cohort of students is studying there right now
