Ph.D. Student
Harvard University
I am a polymer scientist and bioengineer broadly interested in developing polymeric materials for cell therapy manufacturing in immunotherapy. My Ph.D. training at Harvard in Dave Mooney's lab integrates polymer science, immunology, hematopoiesis, and statistical thermodynamics to probe and potentiate T cell differentiation for immunotherapy. I received a B.S. in bioengineering (materials science) from UC Berkeley in 2018.
I previously worked as a microfabrication process engineer at the California Institute for Quantitative Bioscience's Biomolecular Nanotechnology Core (qb3 BNC) developing microfluidic technologies for engineering cardiac microphysiological systems. As an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I worked in Kevin Healy's lab for biomaterials and tissue engineering developing similar devices.
