Yasaman Moharrer
PhD Student, Mechanical Engineering
University of Pennsylvania
Home country: Iran
Education
M.S.E. Biomechanics, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, 2015.
M.S. Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, 2020
Areas of Interest:
Tissue engineering, Biomechanics, and Mechano-biology, Nano-fabrication for biomedical applications.
I am interested in applying mechanical engineering principles and skills in developing novel concepts and research in the field bone biology. Specifically, I would like to understand the effect of mechanical stimulation on osteogenesis during embryonic skeletal development.
