My first peer-reviewed manuscript titled "Extraction of cellulose from restaurant food waste" is now published. Check out the open access manuscript here: lnkd.in/gF4iAim5. I would like to thank my advisor, @SymoneAlexander , for all the help with my research!
Can you recover cellulose from restaurant food waste with no control over the menu or waste composition? We took the first step towards using real-world food waste to recover valuable biopolymers. Check out the open access manuscript here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…. @mtgchenref

Excited to work on this project in the coming year!
Our bioinspiration isn't limited to food - complex assemblies are everywhere! Excited to work with the Smithsonian @NMNH to uncover more fundamental physics, materials, & engineering concepts behind the slingshot spider's unique prey capture strategy.🕷 eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/…

The itsy, bitsy spider... helped identify biomechanical systems capable of withstanding large loads w/ sub-millisecond response times, and inspired new micromechanical systems and responsive actuators. Incredible work by @AuburnU's @SymoneAlexander eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/…
