Responsibilities include:
- Designing and operating continuous bioreactor systems
- Optimizing gas-liquid mass transfer and reactor performance
- Growing and characterizing Methylotuvimicrobium buryatense 5GB1
- Identifying biological and engineering bottlenecks limiting efficiency
- Generating data to inform scale-up and commercialization strategies
- Participating in early-stage technology translation, including customer discovery
This role involves work across both Seattle and Salt Lake City.
Qualifications
