Research Profile

PhD, Chemistry, Michigan Technological University
BS, Chemistry, University of Wisconsin
Sasha Teymorian earned her PhD in Chemistry on the extracellular expression, characterization, and engineering of the enzyme alkaline phytase, and the characterization of inositol polyphosphates using NMR and mass spectrometry. She joined the United States Army Research Lab (US ARL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow, where her research focused on the site-specific synthesis of bio-stabilized nanoclusters, and the patterning of cellulose synthase to yield materials for use in lightweight composite applications. Teymorian remained at US ARL as Technical Lead of the Synthetic Biology Program, where she synthesized heterogeneous biopolymer mats capable of electron capture and energy storage for use as flexible robotic skins, and genetically engineered fungi and bacteria for targeted degradation of materials. Teymorian developed numerous STEM and community outreach programs during her time at the US ARL, and received the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate and Combat Capabilities Development Command awards for Diversity and Inclusion.
