Biography
Chenhao Sun joined Professor Konstantinos Theodoropoulos’s research group in 2013 and has since been working on PHB production using Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 from glycerol. His research focused on using combined computational-experimental approaches to gain an in-depth understanding of the metabolism of the strain associated with PHB synthesis, and hence providing hints as to how PHB productivity can be improved via genetic or process engineering means. He has created Matlab programs to perform dynamic flux balance analysis and dynamic flux control analysis on bioreactor experiment data and yielded positive results.
