She is the CEO of Kiverdi, a biotechnology company that uses natural microbes to transform carbon dioxide and other gases into high-valued proteins, oils, nutrients and bio-based products.[1][2] Early life and educationDyson grew up in Southern California.[3] Dyson completed a bachelor's degree in mathematics at Brandeis University in 1997.[3] After meeting several physics professors, she became more interested in Quantum Field Theory.[3] She was a Fulbright Scholar at Imperial College London, where she received a Masters of Science. Dyson earned her PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2004, working with Leonard Susskind and on quantum gravity.[4] Her thesis, "Three lessons in causality : what string theory has to say about naked singularities, time travel and horizon complementarity", used string theory and General Relativity.[4] She was only the fourth black woman to achieve a PhD in theoretical high energy physics.[5] She worked Matthew Kleban on the Boltzmann Brain problem.[6][7][8] CareerAfter completing her PhD, Dyson joined University of California, Berkeley.[6] Dyson worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University and Princeton.[9] She worked as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group between 2004 and 2006.[10][11] She has worked with the chemical and energy industry.[12] In 2008 she founded Kiverdi, a technology company that looks to revolutionise agriculture.[3][13] Instead of concentrating on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, Kiverdi look to reuse CO2 into proteins and oils.[14] She came across the concept when reading NASA papers, where astronauts had used hydrogenotrophs to convert carbon dioxide in exhaled breath into nutrient rich crops.[15] She started to grow the microbes in her lab, working with manufacturers to scale-up their technology.[15] They are also interested in alternative fuels and bio-products.[16] In 2012 she was awarded the Sustainable Biofuels Award for Leader in Bio-based Chemical Industry.[17] In 2014 she was presented a Clean Energy Education & Empowerment Award.[9] The company were awarded grants from the United States Department of Energy.[3] It won a $750,000 grant from the California Energy Commission.[17] She has several patent applications relating to carbon dioxide fixing chemotropic microorganisms.[18][19] As of April 2018, Kiverdi's estimated value is $6 million.[20] She has delivered several TED talks, including Turning CO2 into Oil, and [https://www.ted.com/talks/lisa_dyson_a_forgotten_space_age_technology_could_change_how_we_grow_food A forgotten Space Age technology could change how we grow food], which has been viewed over one million times.[21][22] She has spoken extensively about carbon recycling,[23] and appeared on the PBS Nova program [https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/decoding-the-weather-machine Decoding the Weather Machine] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.fastcompany.com/person/lisa-dyson|title=Lisa Dyson, Most Creative People 2017 {{!}} Fast Company|work=Fast Company|access-date=2018-05-01|language=en-US}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Dyson, Lisa}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2015/07/13/421488224/-raceontech-how-an-early-love-of-math-led-her-to-the-role-of-ceo|title=#RaceOnTech: How An Early Love Of Math Led Her To The Role Of CEO|work=NPR.org|access-date=2018-05-01|language=en}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite web|url=http://www.brandeis.edu/magazine/2015/spring/inquiry/dyson.html|title=Harnessing the Power of Waste {{!}} Brandeis Magazine|website=Brandeis Magazine|language=en|access-date=2018-04-30}} 4. ^1 {{Cite journal|date=2004|others=Leonard Susskind and Washington Taylor., Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
