My academic interests are in the areas of marine biotechnology, synthetic biology, metabolic pathway engineering and bioprocess engineering. Specifically, I would like to design a bioprocess that utilizes engineered bacteria (via synthetic biology principles) to produce a desired product such as fuel or pharmaceuticals (via metabolic pathway engineering) based on genetic components derived from marine organisms.  Additionally, I'm interested in bioremediation, marine conservation and supporting biodiversity through engineering and applied science.  <br />
