We employ synthetic biology and interdisciplinary bioengineering toward the design and development of next-generation, green chemical processes for the manufacture of cleaner fuels, superior medicines and novel materials.

A teacher, much like a football coach, must appeal to the sensibilities of his or her students. He must instill in them the spirit of achieving the impossible while keeping their feet firmly grounded in fundamentals.

I was fortunate to have been instructed by excellent teachers. My approach to teaching has been inspired by these great individuals and I hope to pass on the favor to a new generation of chemical engineers.
