Education: Ph.D., University of North Carolina
Research Interests:
He has considerable experience in shellfish physiology and parasite/disease
processes and in numerical modeling and statistical analysis. He has conducted
a wide variety of research programs in shellfish reproduction and growth,
using experimental, observational and modeling approaches. The oyster
population dynamics model developed by Powell (and coworkers at ODU) is
the only peer-reviewed model of its type in the world and has been used
in the USACE Houston Ship Channel Project, the USACE Delaware Bay Ship
Channel Project, and the NOAA ODR program. It is presently being applied
to the case of Korean oyster culture in an international program with
Cheju University. Powell helped found a cooperative RU/VIMS/NEFSC/industry
clam (Spisula, Arctica) research program in 1995 which has now been expanded
to include the Illex squid fishery, and he is the present director of
the New Jersey State Aquaculture Program which focuses on research and
development of oyster, hard clam, and conch aquaculture.
