Krishi Mantri
Krishi is a third-year graduate student in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University. His research focuses on the synthetic biology of non-conventional yeasts to produce industrial chemicals beyond ethanol from waste feedstocks. He is passionate about harnessing the power of nature to decarbonize chemical manufacturing — one of the most challenging sectors to reduce carbon emissions in. Outside the lab, Krishi loves being outdoors and picking up new hobbies. He is currently learning to glide.
