Truyen Le

Hey everyone, my name is Truyen Le and I’m originally from Viet Nam. I came to the US in 2012 to pursue my bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering at University of Minnesota (UofM). In 2017, I was accepted to a master's program in chemical engineering at University of California, Berkeley and the Bay Area was one of the largest technology hubs in the US, so I decided to move there after 6 years living in Minnesota. After graduating from U.C. Berkeley, I have been working as a process development engineer at Lygos to develop downstream processes for purification of specialty chemicals obtained from fermentation.
