Adaptive Laboratory Evolution
Evolving E. coli 498 under rising reaction-water pressure in continuous culture, tracking how tolerance and growth change run after run.

Research
Research overview
I study whether microbial adaptation can turn a toxic industrial waste stream into something biologically treatable — and how to measure that change rigorously.
Industrial Reaction Water & Bioremediation
Toxic paint and resin residues from polyester resin production. I test whether the adapted cultures can use those compounds as a carbon source.
- Reaction water
- Carbon-source utilization
- Environmental biotechnology
Continuous Cultivation Systems
Running morbidostat experiments on the Replifactory, with automated dosing and OD600 feedback over long adaptation runs.
- Morbidostats
- Replifactory
- Automated experimental control
Ecotoxicity & Validation
OngoingSetting up Microtox bioassays with Aliivibrio fischeri to check whether biological treatment lowers acute toxicity. Work in progress.

Research Data & Reproducibility
Python pipelines for time-series analysis and structured lab records in eLabFTW, so experiments stay traceable from raw data to figures.
