Clemson, SC

Developed an in-vitro vascular bioreactor model to condition tissue-engineered vascular grafts. Updated model to induce a hyperglycemic and hypertensive environment to investigate resulting response from the vascular grafts.

Clemson, SC

Taught two sections of a functional human anatomy laboratory for pre-medical students. Demonstrated and facilitated dissections of animal specimens to enhance student knowledge of anatomical features as well as developed and conducted teaching practicals to test retained knowledge.

Clemson, SC

Developed tissue engineered, diabetes resistant vascular grafts. Responsible for in-vitro bioreactor conditioning of grafts for implantation into pre-clinical models. Developed and tested new seeding methods while innovating current bioreactor setups. Conducted self-lead experiments to fulfill requirements for a thesis-based departmental honors award.

Clemson, SC

Assisted in the development and design of a custom vascular bioreactor system to meet specific testing needs for a local startup company. Tested multiple iterations of the device to ensure target values and all design criteria inputs were achieved.
