Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ph.D.

I received my PhD from the department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT under the supervision of Pr. Roger Kamm. There, I developed microfluidic devices to expose cells to complex and dynamic concentration profiles within a 3D extracellular matrix. In addition, by combining optogenetic technology and microfluidics, I designed a platform that allowed compartmentalized 3D coculture of lightexcitable motor neurons and muscle cells. In the Lewis Lab, my research focuses on utilizing 3D bioprinting to engineer vascularized and functional biological tissues. I am also interested in the development of tools and strategies to enhance the scale and versatility of 3D printing.
