  mentoring_philosophy: "-\tBy facilitating the skills and probing the understanding of the mentee throughout the research process I will create an environment where the mentee feels safe communicating their ideas and helping out with the research projects. My ultimate goal is to teach the mentee how to conduct high-quality research and prepare them to the extent where they can operate as an independent unit where I will be accessible for guidance and validation. The way I use to achieve this is with hands-on experience in the lab with graduate students and the professor. I also strongly believe in work-life boundaries. I use an open communication method where I can be reached by phone, email, or in person (office drop-in). This allows me to normalize communication between us and use the same channel to inform unavailability rather than have no communication at all. Expectations of each other will be talked during our initial meetings."

  overall_research_project_description: 'Scaffolds aim to support tissue growth and help repair damaged tissue. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a method that has gained popularity throughout the years as a way of producing and designing scaffolds for tissue engineering. The main benefit of this technique is the ability to control multiple properties of the printed structures at the macroscale (i.e., complex architectures, material properties) and microscale (i.e., pore size, biochemical properties). This is important because these properties influence the response of different cells, such as human mesenchymal stromal cell (hMSC) differentiation. For this project, we use a custom-built tool to characterize the mechanical properties of polymeric 3D-printed scaffolds.'
