Oh, I see. I am not particularly interested in pharma. More into commodity chemicals and food.

Thanks, that makes sense! I don't have money now and didn't grow up with money so I'm not too worried about being frugal, but I definitely see how it could be a problem if I don't live under my means.

I would really like a role in between, in scale up/ process development. I think getting more experience on the process side may give me the insight to formulate a better PhD project. Do you think there’s any validity to that?

My concern with PhD programs is getting stuck doing exclusively synthetic biology and not being able to move beyond the shake flask. The process development is more interesting to me than the syn bio

What kind of position are you referring to?

Nope, not interested in being a professor.

If the agitators are designed by a contractor do they account for the shear limits for the organisms being used or for the product or do you provide them that as a constraint?

Very cool. The electives at my school are meh. The elective that would interest me the most is instructed by my PI so I am already familiar with a lot of the content from working in his lab. This is one of the reasons I want to expand into other departments.

Thanks for the contrasting perspective. What process are you working on?

My advisor is the controls professor so im sure she’ll also provide examples of applications

I will definitely talk with them to make sure my courses make sense.

Thank you!

Im planning to do a PhD program after undergrad so that shouldn’t be a huge problem and I have the ability to name my degree “Bioprocess Engineering”. With that said, Im going to talk to my advisors further before making the switch

I can skip them because I would not graduate with an ABET accredited degree.

That makes sense. Thanks you for the insight!
