Undergraduate Research Assistant
Biomedical Device Laboratory
Bryan/College Station, Texas Area
I was an undergraduate researcher in the Biomedical Device Laboratory, led by Dr. Duncan Maitland at Texas A&M University. The Biomedical Device Laboratory (BDL) develops shape memory polymer foams for aneurysm occlusion applications. I completed an undergraduate thesis in 2016 entitled "Fabrication of Shape Memory Polymer Foams with Surface-Modified Nanoparticle Fillers".Through my experience with BDL, I gained significant training with polymer synthesis, material characterization… Show more I was an undergraduate researcher in the Biomedical Device Laboratory, led by Dr. Duncan Maitland at Texas A&M University.
