about our competition proposal, he gladly accepted our suggestion
although our belonged universities were different.
He provided the research advisory on biology, the research
environment, and financial support. Thanks to his consideration
ensuring our free discussion on the research concept,
we could freely put our thoughts into action. We also appreciate his
tolerance for the resource waste in his lab by our errors.
In
addition, we would like to comment our gratitude to his lab members
who gladly agreed to share their lab space. The advices from Dr. Lee

are rarely used in the current wastewater treatment.
Advisor - Minho Ham
He is our exterior developer of the dry lab. He supported our
bioreactor design by drawing its blueprint. Thanks to his contribution
to the hardware implementation, our dry lab members could develop
software parts.
Sponsor
Integrated DNA Technologies & Twist Bioscience
Thanks to their competition sponsorship, we could receive free
synthesized gene fragments and proceed with our project.
Sheco
Sheco is a company that provides a solution for small-scale oil
leakage. The company develops a robot that automatically responds to
marine pollutants. We have struggled with sufficient space for our
