Scientific and technical diligence: Evaluation of an increasingly diverse portfolio of carbon removal approaches – from direct air capture, to electrochemical ocean capture, to enhanced weathering, and synthetic biology. Thesis-driven research & discovery: Identify untapped opportunity for carbon removal technologies. I am sourcing teams working on the most promising approaches in the world and work to help accelerate their progress. Ecosystem development work: Building thought leadership and engage with the carbon removal community and adjacent ecosystems to direct funding and talent to where it is most catalytic for the field.

project title: Understanding extracellular electron transfer of industrial microorganisms and optimization for production applications Microbial electrosynthesis and electro-fermentation are novel approaches to increase microbial production by stimulating the cellular metabolism electrically. This thesis used a combined approach of in silico and in vivo strategies to understand the fundamentals of microbe-electrode interaction, the foundation and currently the limitation of the technology. Based on a metabolic network of Escherichia coli, several target processes for electro-fermentation were identified while simultaneously the effects of different electron transfer routes were modelled. Further, industrial relevant organisms were screened for their ability of extracellular electron uptake in vivo. The alcohol-producing acetogen, Clostridium autoethanogenum, was studied in-depth as a promising candidate.
