I am a PhD candidate in Andrew Murray’s lab at Harvard University. I am fascinated by how cells orchestrate thousands of chemical reactions in a coordinated manner within them. I am also interested in developing platform synthetic biology strategies to improve bioproduction. I like reading books on mathematics, evolution and economics. I am determined to figure out ‘the theory of everything’ for biology ..read more

4d ago
I am an interdisciplinary researcher skilled in electrochemistry, synthetic biology, microbiology, and environmental engineering. I specialize in developing rapid, multiplex whole-cell biosensors by merging synthetic electron flow with advanced electrochemical techniques. These innovations convert biological signals into digital outputs, targeting diagnostic and public health challenges. My future goal is to utilize microbial electron transfer to create conductive biomaterials for advanced bioelectronics, aiming to revolutionize personalized healthcare ..read more

Nils is an academic staff scientist and group-leader at Stanford University (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering), researching the conversion of single-carbon feedstocks into advanced biomaterials using microbial biotechnology. His goal is to create a sustainable chemical industry on Earth “on the way” to new frontiers, by developing circular biological production platforms that can support crewed long-duration space-exploration missions. For that, Nils has also explored the usefulness of this approach on a space-analog mission, at the Space Exploration Analog and Simulation Habi ..read more
