My research applies 3D bioprinting techniques to create engineered tissues that mimic the native structure and function of cardiac tissue. I also serve at the Vice President of Community Outreach for the Graduate Women in Biomedical Engineering student organization. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, cooking, horseback riding, and spending time with my cats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Programs of Study:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biomedical Engineering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>BU<\/strong> <strong>Involvement<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>ENG Dean&#8217;s Host<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Tau Beta Pi (President)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>BU Biomedical Engineering Society<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Awards and Honors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>University of Minnesota:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>NIH T32 Traineeship in Cardiovascular Engineering<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Tau Beta Pi Fellow<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Google PhD Fellowship (University of Minnesota Nominee)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>NSF Graduate Research Fellowship<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Boston University:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>ENG Student Leader Alumni Award<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Outstanding Senior Design Project in Biomedical Engineering<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>1st place, mechanical\/electrical track, BMES-Medtronic Design Competition<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":16931,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/18649"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16931"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/18649\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18651,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/18649\/revisions\/18651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
