Carson Billingsley is thrilled to be an active biomanufacturer at full scale! He is a 2024 graduate of the UC Berkeley M.Eng in Bioengineering, concentrating in Synthetic Biology. Carson currently works as a Process Engineer at Novonesis, the world’s largest industrial manufacturing company, where he helps streamline the biomanufacturing of enzymes that support consumer products and make industrial and agricultural processes more sustainable and efficient.
