Anna Malakian

Anna Malakian recently is starting a postdoc position at the Penn State University in Dr. Andrew Zydney's group. Her current research focuses on in-line virus clearance. She recently graduated from Clemson University in August 2021. Her research focused on developing patterned membranes to combat fouling in membrane-based water treatment applications. Anna also was working on synthesizing highly porous materials from high internal phase emulsions as her master’s degree project at New Mexico State University. One of the applications for these porous materials is membrane development. She is...Read more

Lisa M. Hall

Lisa Hall is an Associate Professor at the Ohio State University. She joined OSU in 2012, having completed her Ph.D. with Prof. Ken Schweizer at the University of Illinois and a subsequent postdoctoral appointment with Amalie Frischknecht and Mark Stevens at Sandia National Laboratories. Her research group uses statistical mechanical theory and molecular dynamics simulations to study molecular behavior and properties of nanostructured polymeric materials. She received a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation in 2015, focused on efficiently modeling ion conduction in block...Read more

Bernhardt Trout

Bernhardt L. Trout is the Raymond F. Baddour, ScD, (1949) Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT. He received his S.B. and S.M. degrees from MIT and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. He performed post-doctoral research at the Max-Planck Institute.

Trout’s research focuses on the development of advanced manufacturing processes and rational tools for formulation and product design. In 2007, with several colleagues, he set up the Novartis-MIT Center for Continuous Manufacturing, a $85 million partnership with the objective of transforming pharmaceutical...Read more

Moo Sun Hong

Moo Sun Hong is a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the group of Prof. Richard D. Braatz. Moo Sun received a B.S. from Seoul National University and an M.S. and Ph.D. from MIT. His research is in the mechanistic modelling and model-based design and control of biopharmaceutical processes.Read more

Neil Dalvie

Neil Dalvie is a graduate student in Chemical Engineering at MIT. He received his B.S. (2016) in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University, where he worked on design principles for modular metabolite biosensors in bacteria. 

At MIT, Neil applies tools from synthetic biology to enable low-cost manufacturing of therapeutic proteins in yeast. He established a platform for rapid, rational engineering of subunit vaccine antigens. This work culminated in a COVID-19 vaccine candidate for low-income countries that is in clinical development. In parallel, Neil developed genome...Read more
