Research Interests:<\/p>\n

My current research interests involve thermal management in biomedical and electrical applications, specifically the interfaces between conductive and non conductive materials. I am a bio-design student working with the Austin Bio-Innovation Institution in Akron, which allows me to link my passion for research with patient needs. To that end, I also have interests in wound healing, biological adhesives, and prosthetics.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
