I have been working in metabolic engineering research for years now. My focus is producing various chemicals or fuels from bacteria, using their incredible metabolic properties. Within this broad research field, my main interest is genetic tools and how we can modify microorganisms for our own benefits and mitigate the climate crisis through sustainable bioprocess alternatives.
I believe this research field is crucial to address the current climate challenges and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with the class. I also find bacteria and their adaptive behaviour absolutely fascinating and would enjoy sharing their potential.

Därför forskar jag: I find bacteria and their potential for human activities fascinating. It is also important to me to contribute to society by working on providing better alternatives to the current petrochemical industry. I also enjoy the intellectual challenge.
