I am a postdoc and recently defended my Ph.D. in the [[Alm_Lab|Alm lab]] in [http://web.mit.edu/be/ Biological Engineering] at MIT.  Our focus is on microbial ecology, microbiomes, and the evolution of microbial genomes. My work is on experimental evolution, genomic adaptation and stress tolerance in ''Vibrio splendidus''.  In short, I'm a personal trainer for bacteria.


I am a [http://web.mit.edu/be/ Biological Engineering] (BE, MIT Course XX) graduate student in the [[Alm_Lab|Alm lab]] (48-324).  Our focus is on microbial ecology and the evolution of microbial genomes. My work is on engineering genetic diversity and stress tolerance in ''Vibrio splendidus''.  I hope to determine what alleles and loci contribute to environmental stress tolerance using experimental evolution and resequencing.

My background is in mechanical engineering and design, but not of things quite as small as [[BioBricks]].
