<p id="descmarg">My name is Alec Lourenço, and I’m a junior at La Canada High School. I got

<p id="descmarg">My name is Matthew Yu and I’m a junior at La Canada High School. I am highly

interested in synthetic biology/biotechnology and science in general.  I have taken various

synthetic biology/biotechnology classes over the past few years and I look forward to having
+
fun on this amazing iGem team this year! :)<br>Fun Fact: I love music and I can play 7

different instruments, of which piano is my main.  I can speak in 9 different languages,

I just try to juggle school and everything else at the same time. I am interested in life, learning,

study and learn about how it affects our lives, the more interested I get. I guess it’s just natural

curiosity.<br>Fun Fact: Only 8 people I have ever met have pronounced my last name correctly on the

math stuff and modeling stuff. I am interested in biotech and mathematics, so I’m here  to experience

a less esoteric subject (mostly did cluster computer and math stuff) for modeling and I want to take

my computers out for a spin again. I am glad to have the opportunity to work on this fantastic team

this year! (If needed I can also write iphone/android apps too, same w/ Rudy)<br>Fun Fact: I drink tea.

computers and more specifically, computer programming. I have found myself to be more compatible with

computers than living things. For example, I’ve recently become engaged in coding artificial intelligence
+
simply because I wanted to play board games with something that doesn’t try to converse with me. I am
+
beginning to fear my obsession has whittled away at my ability to connect with breathing beings on an

emotional level. I am joining the biotech team in desperate hopes get back in touch with natural life.

This is primarily so I can learn about “real” life on the basic level in order to one day create a master

race of bits and bytes.<br>Fun Fact: When I’m not playing connect four with myself I enjoy playing ultimate

Currently, cyanobacteria is used to produce biofuel, however the process is costly and not as efficient. We will reengineer cyanobacteria to increase the efficiency of biofuel production by improving the collection of sunlight and the collection of biofuel. We will maximise the collection of sunlight by engineering a system in which cyanobacteria will be able to adjust its antenna length to the light intensity. Collection of biofuel will also become easier when we engineer cyanobacteria to lyse when optimal levels of inner fatty acids are sensed.
