I work in the [http://koffasresearch.wordpress.com/lab-members/ Koffas group] at [http://www.rpi.edu/ Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]. Before we moved to RPI at February 2011, I have studied at the [http://www.buffalo.edu/ State University of New York at Buffalo] for two and a half years. My PhD projects involve developing synthetic biology tools to engineer the microbial synthesis of natural products and fuel molecules in ''E. coli''.
I am a postdoctoral research associate in [http://bamel.scripts.mit.edu/gns/ Stephanopoulos group] at [http://www.mit.edu/ Massachusetts Institute of Technology].
