Matthew Smith
Profile
Alumni Resnick Graduate Research Fellow
Matt graduated from Caltech with a PhD in bioengineering. He received his bachelor's and master's in physics from Oxford University. As a member of Frances Arnold's research group, he worked on engineering improved cellulases for second generation biofuels. Specifically, his focus was on using protein recombination techniques to create highly active, highly stable beta-glucosidases.
