We are excited to welcome three new undergraduate researchers to the team: Olivia Lundquist (MSE ’26), Matthew O’Connell (MSE ’26), and Sara Oswald (BIOE ’25)! Olivia will be working on developing new materials for cornea replacement with her mentor Christie Ortega. Matt will be tuning surface properties on our 3D-printed scaffolds by grafting polymer brushes on the surface with mentor Diana Hammerstone. Sara will be printing inks containing different molecular weight ratios to independently tune scaffolds stiffness and architecture in collaboration with her mentor Andrew Kitson.
Learn more about their research interests and life outside the lab on our People page.
