Professor and synthetic biologist working at the intersection of engineering biology, industrial biotechnology, and biomanufacturing. My work spans metabolic engineering, microbial fermentation, biosensors, natural products, alternative proteins, and biofoundry-enabled high-throughput workflows for sustainable production of chemicals, materials, and food ingredients. I have experience across academia, startups, national research infrastructure, and industry collaboration, including leadership in biofoundry development and translation of engineering biology toward scalable real-world deployment. I am particularly interested in platform technologies, automation-enabled biology, novel feedstocks, pathway control systems, and sustainable bioprocess development.
