Dr. Brian Kennedy is a deep-sea ecologist who has spent over a decade in ocean exploration. His basic research focuses on understanding how environmental drivers influence deep sea organisms. As part of that work, he is always looking for ways to increase the pace and efficiency of ocean exploration through both the development of new technologies and the novel utilization of existing technologies in the deep sea. Brian earned his PhD in marine ecology from Boston University, and also holds a Masters in biology (BU) and a bachelors in marine biology (College of Charleston). He has published numerous peer reviewed articles and more than a dozen white papers and other publications relating to deep sea ecology, ocean exploration, and underwater technology development and utilization. Brian is currently the Chief Scientist at the Ocean Discovery League and a visiting researcher at Boston University where he is actively involved in deep sea science and advocacy.
