I'm a graduate student in the Cellular Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Graduate Program at Brown University.  Since 2008 I've been working at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California.   My research involves synthetic biology, extremophiles and applications of biological engineering to space settlement.
I work at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California. I helped to start NASA's program in synthetic biology and I now work at NASA in partnerships and project management.
