- Research Assistant
I'm a first-year graduate student in the Sculpting Evolution group, where my work relates to CRISPR engineering, directed evolution, in situ microbiome manipulation, and generation of ecology-focused educational programs. Aside from this, my interests relate to ecoimmunology, STEM engagement & outreach, the design-science nexus, and violin/viola.
Ongoing projects involve:
1. Engineering effective multiplexed CRISPR arrays targeting T4-like bacteriophages
2. Directed evolution of optimally infective conjugative plasmids by liquid-handling robot
3. In situ engineering of mixed microbial ecosystems
4. Development of the Responsive Science model for ethical and collaborative ecotechnological development
5. Hands-on STEM engagement and education for Boston-area youth, and particularly for neurodivergent individuals
