Dr. Hazen received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Interdepartmental Biology from Michigan State University. His Ph.D. is from Wake Forest University in Microbial Ecology. His dissertation research was done at the DOE Savannah River Site on the effects of nuclear reactor cooling waters on bacteria, alligators, and fish. Dr. Hazen was Professor, Chairman of Biology, and Director of Graduate Studies in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico for 8 years. He was Fellow Scientist at the Savannah River Site for 11 years and manager of the Biotechnology Group within the Savannah River Technology Center for 5 years. He took his present position as Head of the Microbial Ecology and Environmental Engineering Department and Lead for the Environmental Remediation Technology Program at E. O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in February 1998. He was appointed as head of the Center for Environmental Biotechnology at LBNL in 1999. He has authored more than 170 scientific publications, not including more than 436 abstracts and chapters in several books. He has also given more than 725 scientific presentations, 75% of them invited. He has patents on 5 bioremediation processes that are being used in 25 states and several countries in Europe and Asia. Prof. Hazen has supervised the graduate theses of 23 students and 13 postdoctoral fellows. He has obtained competitive research funding totaling more than $48.5 million, not including major institutional grants that he directed of more than $80 million. He was president of the Puerto Rico Society of Microbiology and received the First Prize for Science Writing with his students in 1986 from the Ateneo de Puerto Rico. He received the R&D 100 award in 1995 and 1996, numerous other awards, and has been a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiology since 1991. He was also appointed to the United Nations Global Water Quality Task Force, one of only two US scientists. His main research interests are bioremediation, microbial ecology of water and subsurface environments, and microbial stress and survival in the environment.
