computational science and engineering faculty fellow and professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at boston university his research focuses on the development of tools for the specification design assembly and test of synthetic biological systems his approaches draw upon his experience with embedded system level design and electronic design automation eda extracting concepts and methodologies from these fields he aims to raise the level of abstraction in synthetic biology by employing standardized biological part based designs which leverage domain specific languages constraint based genetic circuit composition visual editing environments microfluidics and automated dna assembly this leads to a new research area he calls hardware software wetware co design research he is the director of the cross disciplinary integration of design automation research cidar group at boston university where his team of staff scientists postdoctoral researchers graduate students and undergraduate interns develop computational and experimental tools for synthetic biology his research facilities include both a computational workspace in the department of

course website douglas densmore received his bachelor of science in computer engineering from the university of michigan in april 2001 he received his masters of science in electrical engineering from the university of california at berkeley in may 2004 his master s thesis platform based reconfigurable architecture exploration vis boolean expression demonstrated how boolean satisfiability could be used to produce configurations for programmable hardware he went on to receive his ph d in electrical engineering from uc berkeley as well in may 2007 his phd thesis a design flow for the development characterization and refinement of system level architecture services investigated how electronic system level design methodologies can be abstract and modular while remaining accurate and efficient after his graduation he became a uc chancellor s postdoctoral researcher at uc berkeley under professor alberto sangiovanni vincentelli where he studied the development of system level design methodologies for electronic systems particularly architecture modeling and refinement verification he also served as the leader of the uc berkeley software team in the international genetically engineered machine igem competition which earned a gold medal and the best software tool award in 2008 for the development of the clotho toolset in 2010 he carried out his postdoctoral research in the synthetic biology engineering research center synberc and the joint bioenergy institute jbei where he developed software tools for the design of synthetic biological devices title source amt stat
