Leipzig Bioengineering Group

Biography

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Food, Agricultural, Biological, and Ecological Engineering with a specialization in Biological Engineering and minor in Pharmaceutical Sciences from The Ohio State University in Spring 2020. I attended graduate school at The Ohio State University and earned my Master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering in Summer 2022. My thesis work centered around developing drug or growth factor releasing microspheres for angiogenic applications in burn wounds and cardiovascular healing. Aside from my thesis research, I was the lead on a 6-month porcine burn healing study evaluating the efficacy of a collagenase injection on scar formation. In Fall 2022, I joined the Leipzig laboratory as a Biomedical Engineering student. My research centers around spinal injuries and developing brain organoids. Outside of the lab, I enjoy running, water skiing, and traveling to the National Parks, all 50 states, and internationally.
