Summary:Rose features Kakani Katija. Now a principal engineer for the Bioinspiration Lab at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Katija has large ambitions for the field of ocean science: to identify all marine life. She pursued a PhD in bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology, during which she learned of the lack of access and technology for scientists studying life in the sea. Today, she leads a team developing novel imaging and illumination systems to examine little-known ocean organisms and discover new species. She boldly goes where few have gone before--remotely, with robotic submarines' help--down to 4,000 meters below the surface.
