Education:

• BS, Florida Institute of Technology
• MS, Texas A&M University
• PhD, University of California, Los Angeles

Research Interests: Dr. Kraemer explores invasive species dynamics (e.g., Asian Shore Crab, Gracilaria spp.), marine aquaculture applications for bioremediation, and urban ecological scaling. His work integrates field studies, experimental aquaculture, and environmental chemistry to address ecological and socio-environmental challenges.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes seaweed cultivation’s role in nutrient bioextraction, invasive species population dynamics, and urban sustainability metrics. Key themes include eutrophication mitigation, climate adaptation in marine organisms, and ecological impacts of human activities.
