“By completing my Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. at Penn state, I have had access to many great faculty and facilities the university has to offer. As my focus is in biomaterials, the Millennium Science Complex has been an integral part of my success. The University houses many experts in materials science and biomaterials and the facilities provide a variety of equipment that can’t be found at most universities.”
