After joining the UC Davis International Genetically Engineered Machine competition, Mattan co-founded AmberCycle Industries. Mattan intends to continue his research in bioremediation as he pursues a medical degree.

Nick Csicsery: Chief Operations Officer

Nick Csicsery is an undergraduate studying biological systems engineering at the University of California, Davis. He has been involved with developing the technology for AmberCycle Industries as part of the 2012 igem team at UC Davis. In the future, Nick intends to pursue a PhD in biological engineering.

Deborah Park: Chief Technology Officer

Deborah Park is majoring in Biological Sciences at UC Davis. Following the completion of her undergraduate studies, she has intentions to focus on neurobiology. She is in charge of website production and AmberCycle corporate identity logo.

Andrew Yao: Vice President, B.S. Biomedical Engineering

Andrew Yao is the Lab Manager of Facciotti Lab at UC Davis. He specializes in understanding how structures and dynamics of gene regulatory networks have evolved to regulate complex phenotypes. He also focuses primarily on microbial systems, which allow us to interrogate complex processes across a wide range of levels of cellular complexity (e.g. from single proteins to comprehensive systems-level analysis), and has become a crucial part to the development of AmberCycles technology.
