Sergio García is an Assistant Professor at IE University’s School of Science & Technology and a member of the Environmental Technology group. He holds a PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.  His research combines metabolic engineering, systems biology, and computational modeling to understand and redesign microbial metabolism for renewable biochemical production, including biofuels, bioplastics, and other value-added compounds. He develops open-source tools that integrate multi omics data with genome scale metabolic models to identify and optimize new functions, and has proposed modular design principles to translate and scale biosynthetic pathways across diverse microbial hosts, including understudied extremophiles. García has collaborated with U.S. National Laboratories and multiple universities through renewable energy research centers, and his work has been published in top tier journals and presented at international conferences. Bridging computational tools with synthetic biology, he advances practical biotechnologies for a low carbon circular economy.
