Research Areas: Metabolic engineering of oleaginous yeast, microbial production of bio-based chemicals

I am part of the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) and work with oleaginous yeast including Yarrowia lipolytica to produce higher-value chemicals such as medium chain fatty acids and to consume lignocellulosic hydrolysate, a lower-cost, non-ideal carbon source.

My favorite punctuation mark is the asterisk* because it looks like a snowflake or a flower, two of my favorite things.

*I also appreciate it’s ability to provide additional context and clarification when necessary.
