On a career break from a full-time position. Currently in a project-based role at Alpha Phase (private industry), advancing cold plasma devices for biotechnology/biomedical technology applications. My former Ohio University research lab investigated biological interfaces, cell and extracellular vesicle (EV) membranes, and their biophysical and biochemical regulators. Our work crossed through chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and translational biomedical sciences to understand biological transport, cell and EV migration, and cell and EV adhesion in human health, towards developing diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic strategies. Experienced university educator, mentor of students and new faculty, and advisor/chair of academic excellence and scholarship programs. On the path to becoming a better advocate for diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, belonging, and justice in engineering and biomedical sciences. The 2022 Tau Beta Pi Outstanding Advisor (national), among other career honors.
