He completed his PhD at UC Berkeley in the lab of Matt Francis and a postdoc at Boston University in the lab of Mark Grinstaff before starting a position at Harvard. He is broadly interested in topics related to biologically inspired materials, protein engineering, self-assembly, and biointerfaces. His group works at the interface between biomaterials science and synthetic biology. Recent projects in the group have been focused on repurposing bacterial biofilms and their matrix proteins for biotechnological and biomedical applications. Closest Events to Cambridge
