Research Interests

My current research focuses on tissue engineering and the application of robotic technologies and advanced manufacturing processes to create technology-based solutions to challenging problems in health care delivery. Current projects include: biological patterning of hormones
using inkjet printing to guide stem cell fates; implantable biodegradable electronics; and computer vision-based cell tracking. I also apply inkjet printing to digital fabrication of organic electronics such as gas chemical sensors. To effectively carry out this research, I
work with multidisciplinary teams from The School of Computer Science (Robotics), The College of Engineering, and The Mellon College of Sciences.
