Dr. Adam Caparco is an Assistant Professor at Northeastern University with a joint appointment between the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and a member of the Institute for Plant-Human Interface. Prior to joining Northeastern, he served as a USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow at UC San Diego in the Steinmetz Lab, where he developed novel approaches for using plant virus nanoparticles in agricultural applications, focusing on soil delivery systems and plant protection strategies. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020 under the co-advisement of Professors Julie Champion and Andreas Bommarius, where his research focused on enzyme immobilization and biocatalysis, developing innovative strategies for protein-inorganic particle synthesis and characterizing complex enzyme systems. During his Ph.D., he was awarded a STEM Chateaubriand Fellowship to conduct research at the University of Paris-Saclay/CEA, where he contributed to the discovery of novel amine dehydrogenases through metagenomic mining. He earned his B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a minor in Environmental Engineering from UCLA in 2015.
