Senior Director, Process Development and Engineering @Amyris

Emeryville, CA, US

I lead a group of fermentation scientists and engineers focused on various strain screening, process development, and scale-up projects. I also oversee the pilot plant team that focuses on the development and scale-up of fermentation and primary recovery processes for multiple products in liquid, solid, and gaseous form. I have extensive experience in fermentation process development, process control, project leadership, and recovery development to go along with operational expertise for biofuel, biopharma, and renewable chemical production in small-scale labs, pilot and commercial plants.
