Bio

I am a biologist dedicated to developing new technologies that harness nature to clean up the environment. I completed my PhD in the Department of Plant Sciences at Oxford University in 2016. Since then, I have worked at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to engineer organisms for bioremediation and to understand the environmental effects of genetically engineered bacteria and plants. BluumBio combines my passion for sustainability with my commitment to bioinovation.
