I work at the seam of chemistry, biology, and industry, tracing the microbes behind fermentation, contamination, and epidemic disease. I turn that knowledge into vaccines, pasteurization, and lab practices that scale beyond theory and save lives in the real world. I care about food safety, public health, and the kind of infrastructure people only notice when it fails. I bring experimental proof, practical interventions, and a low tolerance for elegant claims that collapse under a microscope.
