Experience

  • University of Toronto

    Graduate Research Assistant- Aqueous Process Engineering and Chemistry Laboratory

    Thesis Title: Abiotic and Biotic Leaching Characteristics of Pyrrhotite Tailings from the Sudbury, Ontario Area

    The present work focused on investigating the use of sustainable aqueous processing techniques to recover pay metals from the tailings, while discharging the acid mine drainage toxicity by reducing acid formation during leaching. The thesis resulted in the development of a stable, highly-enriched microbial culture capable of pyrrhotite oxidation at elevated solids loading (>20 wt%). Furthermore, a novel process was designed to selectively maximize nickel and sulfur recoveries under acid-neutral conditions.

  • University of Toronto

    Graduate Research Assistant- Laboratory for Metabolic Systems Engineering

    Thesis title: Model-Based Prediction of Physiology of G. sulfurreducens by Flux Balance and Thermodynamics-Based Metabolic Flux Analysis

    Expanded the applicability of a genome-scale metabolic model of Geobacter sulfurreducens to evaluate microbial activity during in-situ uranium bioremediation, while improving the predictive ability by incorporating thermodynamic and metabolomic constraints. This model was successfully utilized in the field to improve existing in-situ bioremediation strategies.

    BMC Research Notes

    Geobacter sulfurreducens is a member of the Geobacter species, which are capable of oxidation of organic waste coupled to the reduction of heavy metals and electrode with applications in bioremediation and bioenergy generation. While the metabolism of this organism has been studied through the development of a stoichiometry based genome-scale metabolic model, the associated regulatory network has not yet been well studied. In this manuscript, we report on the implementation of a thermodynamics based metabolic flux model for Geobacter sulfurreducens. We use this updated model to identify reactions that are subject to regulatory control in the metabolic network of G. sulfurreducens using thermodynamic variability analysis.
