I created the one above courtesy of @pmneila via Reaction-Diffusion System (Grey-Scott model). About me Hey there, I’m Zander! I’m a recent industrial design graduate and current engineering student with a growing fascination in how synthetic biology may be harnessed as a novel manufacturing technique. Since completing a minor in biotechnology and subsequently participating in HTGAA 2026 as a committed listener, my fascination with the domain of synthetic biology has only continued to deepen.Hugoenhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/zander-morris/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/zander-morris/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlA chemostat is a device used to batch produce microbial cultures. The rate of parameters such as nutrient inflow and waste outflow can be tuned to control the rate, and phase, of culture growth. The chemostat array above is used to grow the green algae Tetradesmus obliquus. (University Of Basel, Department of Environmental Sciences, 2026. source) 1. What you would like to biomanufacture, and why? A large portion of manufacturing techniques may be described by three categories: formative, additive and subtractive. Formative manufacturing revolves around the production of an object by guiding its elementary material into a specified mould: injection moulding and casting are two such examples. Additive techniques ‘build’ a product through a series of procedural layers (3D printing). Conversely, subtractive techniques remove material from a ‘blank’ section of stock, whether that be a 3m^2 tungsten cube or a banana, to reach a desired form. Each of these approaches share similar design and circularity limitations, and must often be used in conjunction to achieve a desirable outcome.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/zander-morris/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/zander-morris/final-project/index.html
