Logan Carpenter

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University, working in the Microsystems and Mechanobiology Lab. During my graduate research I used agent-based models to investigate how cell-scale mechanical properties lead to emergent tissue-scale phenomena in epithelial monolayers.

Current Projects

  1. Characterize the change in cellular behavior due to interfacing with DNA nanostructures.
  2. Develop a method to enhance cellular fitness using DNA nanostructures.
