===Bio===
I am an Assistant Professor at [http://www.ucla.edu/ UCLA] in the [http://www.chemistry.ucla.edu/ Chemistry and Biochemistry Department]. I was previously  a member of the [http://wyss.harvard.edu/viewpage/72/advanced-technology-team Advanced Technology Team] in the [http://wyss.harvard.edu/viewpage/101/synthetic-biology Synthetic Biology Platform] at the [http://wyss.harvard.edu/ Wyss Institute]. I was a postdoc in [[User:Geochurch|George Church]]'s [[Church Lab|lab]] in the [http://genetics.med.harvard.edu/ Department of Genetics] at Harvard Medical School and the Wyss Institute from 2009-2011.  From 2007-2009, I was the first employee of a biofuel startup called [http://jouleunlimited.com/ Joule Unlimited].  I got my ScD in [http://web.mit.edu/be/index.shtml Biological Engineering] at MIT in [[Drew Endy]]'s lab and worked on understanding the development of a simple virus (T7) that infects ''E. coli''. As an undergraduate in [http://bioeng.berkeley.edu/ Bioengineering] at UC Berkeley, I worked with [http://www.lbl.gov/~aparkin Adam Arkin], Dale Kaiser, and Roy Welch on modeling traveling wave formation in ''M. xanthus''.  I also co-founded OpenWetWare.

===Bio===
I went to high school in Roxbuy, NJ.  After throwing away a promising career in show choir, I went to [http://www.berkeley.edu UC Berkeley] to pursue a degree in [http://bioeng.berkeley.edu/ bioengineering].  I began working for [http://www.lbl.gov/~aparkin Adam Arkin] where I learned to program and became very interested in how networks of noisy chemical systems can undergo robust processes such as development.  My last two years in the lab, I worked on constructing models for how simple rules could govern ''Myxococcus xanthus'' pattern formation and development (In collaboration with [http://cmgm.stanford.edu/devbio/kaiserlab/ Prof. Dale Kaiser] and [http://myxococcus.syr.edu/ Roy Welch]). 


I came to [http://web.mit.edu/ MIT] as a graduate student in [http://web.mit.edu/be biological engineering]. In February, 2002, I joined [[Drew Endy]]'s lab. I started work on understanding the development of a simple virus that infects bacteria, bacteriophage T7.  In May of 2005, I along with  members of the [[Synthetic Biology|MIT Synthetic Biology Working Group]] ([[Jason Kelly]], [[Ilya Sytchev]], [[Reshma Shetty]], [[Barry Canton]], et al.) helped start OpenWetWare as a informational resource for biologists.  I am now a fifth year graduate student.

Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at UCLA in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. I was previously a member of the Advanced Technology Team in the Synthetic Biology Platform at the Wyss Institute. I was a postdoc in George Church's lab in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and the Wyss Institute from 2009-2011. From 2007-2009, I was the first employee of a biofuel startup called Joule Unlimited. I got my ScD in Biological Engineering at MIT in Drew Endy's lab and worked on understanding the development of a simple virus (T7) that infects E. coli. As an undergraduate in Bioengineering at UC Berkeley, I worked with Adam Arkin, Dale Kaiser, and Roy Welch on modeling traveling wave formation in M. xanthus. I also co-founded OpenWetWare.
