Hi. My name is Niko, a current PhD student in Bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech).
I hold a Master of Research (MRes) in Systems and Synthetic Biology from Imperial College London, where I worked with Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro and Tom Ellis. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Iowa.
I am interested in:
- Ongoing research in synthetic biology // cellular evolution // genome synthesis // genome recoding // biocontainment // genetic circuits
- Lab automation
- Scientific writing
When I'm not working, I am writing.
Top 5 Books:
-The Black Cloud by Sir Fred Hoyle
-The Four Books by Yan Lianke
-Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl
-King Solomon's Ring by Konrad Lorenz
-Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age by W. Bernard Carlson
