Construct and analyze genome-scale metabolic models of various microorganisms to optimize sustainable production of cell factories. Incorporate Omics data into our models using machine learning and optimization programming techniques. Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team and develop user-friendly modeling software.

Held various roles as lead modeller, developer, and bioinformatician. Designed a bespoke pipeline for the reconstruction of novel genome-scale metabolic models of cyanobacterial species.Led data analysis and modeling projects that guided the construction of new production strains.Built and maintained several in-house biotech software programs designed to boost productivity of various teams at Photanol.

Developed algorithms and mathematical frameworks to identify stable genetic modifications which induce production of commodity chemicals from microorganisms. Introduced several of these predictedmodifications into the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 using modern molecular cloning and cyanobacteria cultivation techniques.

Modeled and developed a novel continuous cultivator to generate and select desired phenotypesfrom bacterial populations.

Designed a continuous cultivator for cyanobacteria to replicate industrial conditions at lab-scale. Validated this cultivator by analyzing the proteomic response of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 using LC-MS/MS.
