Algae Textile: A Lightweight Photobioreactor for Urban Buildings
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-17)By innovating the photobioreactor, the growth of algae can be deployed as a performative and ecological layer within contemporary building systems. Proposed is an algae textile: a building–integrated photobioreactor organized ... -
A comprehensive CRISPR-Cas9 toolkit for Bacillus subtilis: development for biomanufacturing applications
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)Bacillus subtilis is a model Gram-positive GRAS organism sought after for its robust growth characteristics in inexpensive media, genetic tractability, and ability to secrete products into the extracellular environment. ... -
Integrated metabolic engineering and bioprocessing strategies for production of succinyl-CoA-derived chemicals in Escherichia coli
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-15)Due to various social, environmental, and technological issues associated with petro-based chemical processes, bio-based production using microbial cell factories has been recognized as a modern biotechnology for more ... -
Optimal Experimental Design Applied to Models of Microbial Gene Regulation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-22)Microbial gene expression is a comparatively well understood process, but regulatory interactions between genes can give rise to complicated behaviours. Regulatory networks can exhibit strong context dependence, time-varying ... -
Reducing the Emergence of the Gaps: Computation for Weak Emergence
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-29)This thesis contributes to the growing literature surrounding the importance of weak emergence by showing it can account for more phenomena than originally conceived via the use of computational reduction. Weak emergence ...
