Bio: My research program combines physics and synthetic biology to make fundamental advances in our understanding of living systems and to apply this knowledge to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. We develop quantitative mathematical/computational/machine learning models and perform experiments on genetically engineered yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and pathogenic yeasts (Candida spp.). I am also a faculty advisor for the 2022 UAlberta iGEM team - this years project is to genetically engineering bacteria to detect and destroy human pathogenic fungi!
