At Ecovative, we design and grow materials with mycelium. Discovering the many unique properties of fungi means doing a lot of testing. As the director of the Foundry Engineering team, my role is to pursue the vision and possibilities new biomaterials by developing tools for doing rigorous scientific research at scale. To that end, I lead a group of engineers and software developers in building a first-of-its-kind platform for inventing and fine-tuning a wide range of mycelium biomaterials. The Foundry is at the heart of Ecovative’s innovation process for growing AirMycelium™ material.
