Personal profile

Summary

I am currently a PhD Student within the Centre for Enzyme Innovation under the supervision of Dr Bruce Lichtenstein, Prof Birte Höcker and Dr Samuel Robson. My PhD research focuses on understanding the sequence and structural determinants of plastic-degrading activity in enzymes, using protein design to address the challenges of interfacial catalysis. I am particularly interested in understanding how proteins evolve, and how we can exploit that understanding to build new proteins towards biotechnological applications.
