Describe the target product or output you would like to make. A CAD-guided structural bio-composite (bacterial cellulose) synthesized directly by bacteria which can compete with carbon-fiber based structures in terms of tensile strength.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/shirish-goyal/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/shirish-goyal/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.htmlOverview In Homework 1, we proposed a CAD-guided structural bio-composite using bacterial cellulose to produce high-tensile, light-weight arms for drones and robotics as a sustainable alternative to non-recyclable carbon fiber composites. In Homework 2, we transition from physical product concept to nucleotide sequence. Using Kernel by Asimov, we design the genetic construct that encodes and regulates the biocatalytic machinery required to synthesize, extrude, and crystallize cellulose nanofibers. We also explore lean manufacturing frontiers—incorporating cellulose spheroids as modular building blocks and optogenetic projection lithography to eliminate expensive mold tooling.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/shirish-goyal/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/shirish-goyal/final-project/index.html
