What I do

I am a first-year PhD student in the Biomedical Engineering program between Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, and I completed my BS in Biomedical Engineering (and minored in Chemistry and Biochemistry) at Georgia Tech as well. I work in the Enveomics Lab with Dr. Kostas Konstantinidis on various microbial ecology projects, where I’m interested in developing resilient synthetic microbial communities, and am supported by the NSF GRFP!

Outside of school, I served as Head of Research at Southeast Analog (SEA), one of the only student-run analog missions based in the US. I do various activities like participating in recreational math conferences, playing squash, running outside, and reading a book a week, and I also hold an amateur radio license (KR4JRY) and operate an engineering-focused social media account, @engineerwithsara. I’ve also played piano for 18 years, oboe for 7, and have done various technical theatre jobs for the past 5 years.
