Research

research overview

  • The research in my group focuses on the interdisciplinary synthetic biology work in the overlap between electrical engineering, mathematical modelling, and genetic biology. Examples of work include: the creation of genetic design automation programs similar to electronic design automation programs for circuit designs, stochastic verification of genetic models, and a repository for storing and sharing genetic constructs.

keywords

  • Synthetic biology, genetic design automation, formal verification, stochastic model checking, data standards, asynchronous circuit design

Teaching

courses taught

  • ECEN 4003 - Special Topics
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2021
    Credit and subject matter to be arranged. May be repeated up to 12 total credit hours. Department enforced prerequisite: varies
  • ECEN 4933 - Engineering Genetic Circuits
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2022
    Presents recent research into methods and software tools for the modeling, analysis, and design of genetic circuits that are enabling the new field of synthetic biology. Teaches both biological and engineering principles in order to enable collaborations between engineers and biologists working in the field of synthetic biology. Recommended prerequisite: some familiarity with genetics, cell biology, molecular biology or biochemistry or familiarity with engineering methods for modeling, analysis and design, but students are not expected to have knowledge in both. Same as ECEN 5933.
