Sarah Reed has undergraduate degrees in Math, Education, and Geology from University of Colorado at Boulder, and attended City College of San Francisco for Mechanical Engineering in 2006. In 2010 she received her Master's from MIT in Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Product Design, where she researched as a D'Arbelloff Fellowship Recipient to complete her thesis: "A Study of the Manufacturing and Product Possibilities of Polylactic Acid/Cork Compound." Reed also studied alternative wind turbine blade materials. Reed's research work has contributed to other projects within MIT.
Reed is currently Associate Program Manager at Farm Design, Inc., which provides "complete development services for medical, life sciences, and consumer health companies." Farm specializes "in discovering product opportunities, solving complex problems, and creating intellectual property to expand and protect [their] client's value in the market."
The next lecture will be held on Friday, November 15, from 4-5:30pm in SCI 278. Anita Shukla, Professor of Engineering at Brown University, will be giving a talk titled "Designer Biomaterial Surfaces."
Abstract:
Research in biomaterials is continuing to lead advances in treatments for a variety of critical medical conditions. Dr. Shukla will discuss her research on developing drug delivery coatings that are aimed at treating aspects of traumatic injury including infection. She will also describe her research on designing biomimetic micropatterned surfaces to direct stem cell behavior. In addition, Dr. Shukla will discuss her career path and how she transitioned from studying chemical engineering as an undergraduate and graduate student to becoming a professor focused on biomedical engineering research.
