Education

  • University of Nebraska, Lincoln NE, 1999 B.S. Biological Systems Engineering
  • Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester MN, 2005 Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA
  • The Schepens Eye Research Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston MA, 2007 Post-doc

Research Interests

The focus of our laboratory is to develop in vitro models of neural growth, physiology, and disease by manipulating the chemical and physical extracellular microenvironment. Toward this end, we employ a number of microengineering technologies such as microscale tissue engineering, novel nanomaterials, microfabrication, digital light projection microscopy, and optical modes of electrophysiological stimulation and recording.
