Undergraduate Researcher

BS

University of Minnesota, Mechanical Engineering (2020)

Biosketch

Judith received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in 2020. Having worked in the Biosensing and Biorobotics Laboratory for three years of her undergraduate career, Judith streamlined the fabrication procedure of See-Shells and adapted them to study mild traumatic brain injuries in mice. Starting in fall 2020, she will begin her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science at Duke University.
