I got my P.hD. degree from Texas A&M University. My P.hD research focused on developing metabolic engineering strategies for terpene production in photosynthetic systems. In August 2018, I joined Dr. Rhee's group to develop metabolic network models to guide metabolic engineering efforts and agriculture applications for higher biomass yield under drought using sorghum and Setaria. In my spare time, I like playing ping-pong and basketball.
