I am a current second-year student at Cornell University majoring in biomedical engineeirng and minoring in business. I have a strong love for anything biomedical engineering, but in particular, 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering. 

For four years, I have focused my research on developing the field of 3D bioprinting. This journey began during my sophomore year of high school when I worked as a student researcher with the Regenerative Biomaterials & Therapeutics Group at Carnegie Mellon. Here, I helped develop a way to 3D bioprint at home, converting a 3D printer to a 3D bioprinter where I competed in science fairs at the national level.

Currently, I work as part of the Bonassar Research Group at Cornell, developing a way to non-destructively assess the cellular health of 3D bioprinted constructs using a syringe attachment called the smart syringe. I have also served as an intern at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, performing ANSYS simulations of the tracheas of patients preoperative in addition to developing a wearable device to allow blind individuals to better interact with their environment using machine learning.
