Ep 42 How Algae is going to Change our Future | Professor Navid Moheimani
Episode 42
Monday, 20 April, 2026

Professor Navid Moheimani is a leading algal biotechnologist at Murdoch University and a global authority on microalgae, working at the forefront of sustainable innovation across energy, agriculture, and environmental management. His research explores how some of the smallest organisms on Earth, algae, can solve some of our biggest challenges, from producing oxygen and biofuels to transforming waste into valuable resources. Through pioneering work in algal cultivation and large-scale applications, Professor Moheimani is redefining how we view waste, developing “waste-to-profit” systems that convert agricultural and organic waste into renewable energy, high-protein biomass, and sustainable products. His research spans everything from wastewater treatment and carbon capture to the future of biofuels, bioplastics, and even algae-powered infrastructure. By combining cutting-edge science with real-world application, his work sits at the intersection of climate solutions, food security, and circular economies, positioning algae as one of the most powerful and overlooked tools for building a more sustainable future.
