Experience

1. Senior Staff Scientist

   Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at the University of Oregon

   Feb 2023 — Present · Eugene, OR, US

   At the Knight Campus, working within the Plesa Lab, I’ve been focused on accelerating the commercial readiness of emerging technologies in synthetic biology. My work spans gene synthesis, high-throughput screening assays, and bioinformatics — with an eye toward what it takes to make these technologies viable outside of academia.I came in to help push multiple platforms forward, moving them from exploratory concepts toward industry-grade tools. That’s included scaling novel gene assembly techniques, refining workflows, and shaping IP strategy. I’ve also served as a bridge between the academic and commercial worlds, bringing an operator’s lens to experimental design and development.At the core of this role is a focus on translation — turning promising research into real-world impact.
