Biography
Dr. Ania-Ariadna Baetica is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Drexel University. She received her BA degree from Princeton University in 2012 and her PhD from California Institute of Technology in 2018. Following her degrees, she was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California San Francisco.
Dr. Baetica's group leverages control theory along with systems biology, synthetic biology, and computational science to solve biotechnological and medical challenges.
Her group designs robust and modular synthetic biological circuits by incorporating layered feedback mechanisms.
