Cody Ellington received his M.S. from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NC State University, and he was a member of the EnBiSys Lab. He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from NC State in 2017. As an undergraduate student, he worked with Dr. Williams to create an electrical circuit model of the lignin biosynthesis pathway for middle and high school students to use as a “hands-on” tool to study metabolic pathways and their function within plants. During his graduate research, Cody developed a computational model for the myo-inositol hexakisphosphate signaling pathway.
