Dylan Brown, a Chemical Engineering PhD student, is joining the Lucks lab! As an undergraduate, he worked with Dr. David Whitten studying the antimicrobial activity of polyelectrolytes. At North Carolina State University, he worked with Dr. Amy Grunden and Dr. Joel Pawlak. There, he optimized organic acid production of a bacterial species using pulp and paper process side streams as a feedstock. In the Lucks lab, he plans to work on cell-free metabolite biosensors.
In his free time, he enjoys making art, going to concerts, and spending days at the beach. Fun fact: he has slightly above average animal identification skills. Welcome to the lab, Dylan!
