Conducted research on fermentation process to lower current cost at scale.Managed and organized the move of bioreactors and lab equipment into larger fermentations lab to improve the efficiency for multiple scientists working within a lab environment.Mentored technicians as a hands on approach to increase skills and confidence. Presented data for team members, leadership and stakeholders for informed decision making to be used at production scale. Focused on a nearly impossible process, worked though the problems and had a proof of concept in 6 months. Led small team to prioritize research to reach tight deadline goals.

Conducted research from bench scale to pilot scale successfully took process from 0.5L to 100L scale while improving titers 2X.Designed experimental plans for fermentation optimization to increase rates, titer, and yields of biofuel products using biomass sugars. Collected online (fermenter), offline (Off-gas, HPLC, NIR, Spectrometer, ph meter) data from experiments and organized into a readable manner for other team members. Determined a better process for 2, 3, BDO production, improving productivity 16% overall. Repaired and maintained lab equipment to insure research could continue on schedule. Organized, ordered and stocked consumable inventory for multiple labs.Trained coworkers on lab safety and lab equipment in order to have a well-functioning lab. Assisted with writing and training on SOP, polices and regulatory guidelines within the fermentation lab.
