Samya Sen, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSamya's research interests are primarily soft materials and complex fluids. He uses experimental techniques of fundamental rheology in conjunction with non-Newtonian fluid mechanics to model, characterize, design, and understand soft material behavior. The applications of his research range from yield-stress fluid design in consumer products, industrial materials, and wildfire suppression. His current research projects as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Appel is in the rheological of novel hydrogels for biomedical applications, including improved drug delivery. His focus is on developing transient, stimuli-responsive materials with tunable mechanical and mass transport properties which can be tuned in situ and in vitro for controlled drug-release profiles. He also works on mathematical modeling of mass transport, structural evolution, and constitutive behavior of polymeric and colloidal materials in the context of soft biomaterials.

Zachary Aaron Sexton
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiology
BioFocused on understanding cardiovascular physiology, disease, and tissue engineering through stem cell biology and hemodynamics. Specializes in 3D extrusion bioprinting and computational fluid dynamics (though an open-source software platform SimVascular) to improve tissue engineering strategies for the successful development of cardiac tissues for disease modeling and therapeutic solutions.

Kat Adams Shannon
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioKat studies how young children adapt their attention and learning behaviors to best match different early environments, with particular focus on understanding variability and strengths in contexts of early adversity. A key aim of her research is to create and collaborate on innovative uses of technology and statistical methods to support education and developmental science.
