Research/professional interests:


  • Biomaterials
  • Stem Cell Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

How I fell in love with regenerative medicine:
Stem cells hold tremendous therapeutic potential but have had limited applications in the clinical setting, especially for treatment of injured/diseased central nervous system. My bioengineering background could address technical challenges of stem cell-based therapies, leading me to this fascinating area, regenerative medicine.

  • American Heart Association

Three things people may not know about me:
