I am a graduate student in pursuit of my PhD in the Roberts Lab in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I learned about OpenWetWare from a colleague, and I've joined because my advisor, Susan C. Roberts, suggested that I create and edit our group website.
Education
- 2014 (expected), PhD, University of Massachusetts Amherst
- 2012, Graduate Certificate in Cellular Engineering, University of Massachusetts Amherst
- 2008, BS in Engineering, Tulane University
Research interests
- My research is in the field of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Specifically, I focus on methods to enhance oxygen transport to mammalian cells in both 2-D and 3-D cell cultures. Currently, my biomaterial of choice is alginate, a natural biopolymer derived from brown algae. Further information can be found at the Roberts Lab website.

Funding
Throughout my graduate career, I have been funded by the Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Program through an NIH T32 graduate traineeship and by the Institute for Cellular Engineering (ICE) through multiple travel grants and an NSF IGERT graduate fellowship.
My work has also been advanced through the help of many undergraduates and REU students, who have been supported by the Commonwealth Honors College, UMass College of Engineering REU program, and the UMass ICE REU program.
