I am responsible for advancing multidisciplinary research, combining biology, chemistry, and materials science to create new innovative bio-hybrids and biomaterials. In previous work, I've investigated cell-material interfaces for biomedical applications and developed 3D polymers for control of cell behavior. Currently, I am interested in using motile cells, such as swimming bacteria or contractile muscle cells as bio-engines for micro- and nanorobotics.
