I am an associate professor in the biomedical engineering department in Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµâ€™s Allen School of Engineering & Computing. After graduating from Louisiana Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering, I worked as a clinical engineer for Glenwood Regional Medical Center in West Monroe, Louisiana. Later, I went back to Louisiana Tech to earn a doctorate focusing on biomimetic microfluidics devices involving bionanotechnology and biomaterials aspects.
In 2015, I joined Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµâ€™s biomedical engineering faculty and developed a relationship with Trine innovation 1. My passion for teaching is based on inspiring students to develop their own medical technologies to improve healthcare on a global level.
In 2018, I moved forward with my entrepreneurial aspirations by establishing Blaire Biomedical, Inc. To date, Blaire Biomedical has hired three Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ biomedical engineering student interns to provide students with practical design experiences. Additionally, I and biomedical engineering alum Paul Carlquist were awarded a utility patent for our designs with Blaire Biomedical. Currently, I hold a joint faculty position with Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ and Blaire Biomedical.
Born on the bayou in northeast Louisiana, I grew up with a deep appreciation for spicy foods, great music and Southern colloquialisms. Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my family, riding motorcycles and playing the drums.
