Preparation of composite silk-based biomaterials for musculofascia repair and regeneration using electrospinningStudying effect of electrospun scaffold properties on adipose-derived stem cell behavior

Developed composite hydrogel-electrospun mesh for use as tissue engineered scaffold for vascular or ligament graftsDesigned experiments to characterize cell behavior in response to biomaterial stimuli such as addition of inorganic content or differences in moduliDetermined cytotoxicity and corrosion resistance of TiNb alloy as alternate to TiNi for use as biomaterial for cardiac stents or joint replacementPerformed biochemical and histological analysis on samples to assess cell behavior or differentiation in response to external stimuliPerformed materials characterization to determine properties such as modulus, mesh size, composition, cytotoxicity, and protein adhesion characteristics of biomaterials Utilized imaging such as SEM and confocal microscopy to develop an understanding of morphology of composite scaffolds and cell morphologyPrepared systems to determine burst pressure, compliance, and contractility of engineered vascular graftsRecorded, analyzed and presented experimental data in an organized and concise mannerPublished findings in professional journals

Fundamentals of EngineeringInformed students of the procedures for completing and submitting class work such as lab reportsEvaluated and graded examinations, assignments, and papers, record grades, and proctored examinationsScheduled and maintained regular office hours to meet with studentsBiochemical EngineeringTaught classes with guidance of professorLead discussion sections and test reviews and proctored examinationsScheduled and maintained regular office hours to meet with studentsChemical Engineering Thermodynamics Lead discussion sections and test reviewsScheduled and maintained regular office hours to meet with studentsPrepared and proctored examinations

Supervised undergraduate student research projects and helped students develop an understanding of experiment designPresented and explained relevant current literature so students could develop experiments to build upon current knowledge Assisted in the presentation of research for poster presentations
