I am a scientist, and am currently a Eugene Bell Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. I run a research lab at MIT that designs adaptive living materials for applications ranging from regenerative medicine to biohybrid robotics. Currently, my lab is focused on tissue engineering the neuromuscular system to preserve healthy human mobility and power efficient robots. Our research is funded by a variety of programs including a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the NSF CAREER Award, the Army Research Office Young Investigator Award, and the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award. To learn more about our work, please visit our lab website and refer to my book Biofabrication, published by MIT Press and targeted at general audiences.
