Ph.D. Candidate

I am a PhD candidate who is co-advised by Dr. Papoutsakis and Dr. Kelvin Lee. My research focuses on the impact of extracellular vesicles in biomanufacturing cell cultures, exploring their communication roles in the spent media of CHO cells. I am amazed by how cells can perform such complex tasks and can be utilized as micro-reactors.

I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Engineering Management and ICons. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, exploring coffee shops, and outdoor activities such as biking and swimming.
