Bryce Waller is a graduate student researcher focused on harnessing fungal biology to develop sustainable materials and technologies. His work explores how mycelium and microbial systems can transform waste into biodegradable products, from paper-like materials to engineered wood and textiles. Drawing on interdisciplinary experience in microbiology and engineering, he is particularly interested in circular manufacturing and environmentally resilient design. Bryce aims to advance fungi-based innovations that reduce industrial impact while contributing to a more sustainable and regenerative future.
