Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Mechanical characterization of burned skin tissue over the wound healing process

Project Keywords mechanical properties, burn, wound healing

Are you currently looking for research assistants? No

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) mechanical engineering, bioengineering

Project Location: On FSU Main Campus

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? {Empty}

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): In-person

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 7

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? During business hours

Overall Research Project Description The aim of the research project is to investigate the mechanical properties of burned tissue as it undergoes the healing process. Ex vivo porcine skin models and discarded human skin models will be employed for the burn wound healing experiments. These burned tissues will be cultured over two weeks, during which time data will be collected at regular intervals. The data collection methods will include punch biopsies, ultrasound scans, and tensile testing of the samples utilizing a uni-axial tensile testing machine.

Research Tasks Data collection, data analysis

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Matlab or Python (recommended)

Mentoring Philosophy Improving mantees' understanding
Improving mentees' understanding in our engineering program means blending theory with hands-on experience. As a mentor, I guide them beyond textbooks, encouraging real-world problem-solving. We learn together through success and failure, crafting a rich learning environment that prepares them for a fulfilling engineering career.
