Research

Researching the role of mechanical substrate cues on stem cell derived cardiomyocyte (SC-CM) functional maturation. Specifically investigating the impact of nanotopography on the electrophysiological function of SC-CMs in order to develop a more in vivo-like tissue for in vitro screening purposes.

Honors and Awards

NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Honorable Mention (2011); Graduated with High Distinction from the University of Virginia (2011); Tau Beta Pi National Engineering Honor Society (2010 – Present)
