Sebastian is a chemical engineer with an interest in biotechnological processes. He completed his BSc in Chemical Engineering at Institut Teknologi Bandung in Indonesia and currently joins the group as an MPhil in Biotechnology student. He is particularly interested in the bioprocessing of recombinant protein, synthetic biology, biopharmaceutical production, and bioreactor design. Sebastian is now working on scaling up the production of recombinant protein with optogenetic circuits to develop a low-cost protein production system using light as the inducer.
