Graduate Advisor
Adam ThompsonAdam was born and raised in Canton, GA before obtaining a B.S. in Biochemistry from Georgia Tech and a M.S. in Chemistry from Georgia State University. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Energy Science and Engineering through the Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education. His current work combines computational and experimental approaches to optimize the production of renewable fuels and chemicals. When not in lab, he enjoys hiking, playing soccer, and becoming a craft beer connoisseur. |

Advisors
Cong Trinh Ph.DCong T. Trinh received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering (with summa cum laude, honors thesis) at the University of Houston and earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. To continue his interests in biofuels research, he has worked at the Energy Biosciences Institute, University of California, Berkeley as a postdoctoral scholar. His research interests focus on understanding and engineering cellular metabolism with the ultimate goal to design, construct, and characterize cells with optimized metabolic functionalities. These engineered cells are utilized as efficient and robust whole-cell biocatalysts exhibiting only desirable properties specifically tailored for biotechnological applications related to energy, health, and environment. |

Dr. Gladys AlexandreDr. Gladys Alexandre is an associate professor in the Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She received her B. S. in biology, her M. S. and Ph.D in microbial ecology from the Universite of Lyon 1, France. She worked as a postdoctoral scholar at Loma Linda University and Medical School, California and at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. Alexandre’s research interests include bacterial chemotaxis signal transduction in non-model bacteria and mechanisms of sensory information processing, using a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry and microscopy. |
