Eugenia (Jane) Romantseva is a staff engineer supporting the Cellular Engineering Group. Her current research focuses on developing measurement assurance and tools towards improving reproducibility in cell-free expression. Jane is also part of the collaborative effort to leverage automation, specifically the NIST Living Measurement Systems Foundry, for high throughput measurements to advance genetic sensor engineering and address challenges in scalability for engineering with living measurement systems.
In general, Jane is interested in expanding measurement tools and standards for engineering with non-model organisms and plants, leveraging micro- and nanoscale design and fabrication and 3D bioprinting toward the development of novel living materials, and expanding biological research in microgravity environments.
Jane received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University and a M.S. in Material Science and Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.
