Research History

  • Graduate Research Assistant- Rice University- Assisted in the key regulatory steps in order to secure FDA approval for in vivo bioreactors. - Developed novel porogens for improved scaffold degradation and tissue regeneration. - Leveraged 3D printing to create complex composite constructs in order to precisely controlled cell differentiation2014 - 2019
  • Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering Undergraduate Researcher- Fabricated functional coronary grafts by seeding endothelial cells on decellularized placental tissue. - Demonstrated that endothelial cells seeded on decellularized placenta tissue responded similarly to native coronary arteries.2011 - 2012
  • Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering Undergraduate Researcher- Designed and performed studies on pre-treatment methods to improve the efficiency of the thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to hydrocarbon fuels. - Research performed was awarded University of Oklahoma's Outstanding Junior Researcher.2010 - 2011
  • National Center for Human Performance Undergraduate Researcher- Using stations developed over the previous summer, collected performance data on hundreds of children. - Designed and executed a study that investigated the minimum pressure needed to generate a clinically meaningful EKG signal with dry electrodes for NASA.2009 - 2009
  • National Center for Human Performance Undergraduate Researcher- Investigated metrics to predict extracurricular activities children are inherently gifted at. - Designed, fabricated, and tested 11 stations to collect a variety of performance measures. - Collaborated with NASA to help design and improve the second-generation space suite.2008 - 2008
