I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Bioengineering department at Stanford University, where I am focusing on the development of biomimetic soft robotics for cardiac tissue engineering and bioprinting applications. My doctorate work in the Health Sciences and Technology (HST) Ph.D. program of Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology pioneered the use of soft robotics to recapitulate human disease with high-fidelity for personalized device testing and procedural planning.

Biomimetic Models Of Disease

The development of safe and effective medical devices relies on accurate testing platforms which are used for their evaluation prior to human use.

Biomechanics And Medical Devices

Understanding the mechanical properties of soft biological tissues is critical for the development of medical devices to assist or augment human function.
