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. I won the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface (CASI) to transition to an independent investigator.
