Berkeley, California, United States

• Studied electromicrobial production technologies and (bio)reactor design for CO2 utilization in the Center for the Utilization of Biological Engineering in Space (CUBES). Advised by Prof. Doug Clark. Learn more at.
• Analyzed life cycle impacts and technoeconomics of CO2 conversion relying on comprehensive process and multiphysics reactor models
• Designed and 3D-printed benchtop-scale reactors for experimental validation of model predictions
• Designed and modeled energy and chemical production systems for Martian habitats, demonstrating the feasibility of photovoltaic-powered crewed missions (with Arkin Lab at UC Berkeley and Collins Group at LBNL)
• Developed a comprehensive model of methane conversion to bioplastics, demonstrating that thermal management and gas-liquid mass transfer are key performance limiters (with Criddle Group at Stanford University)
• Mentored one undergraduate and one Ph.D. student
