Chelsea Andrews, Research Assistant Professor, Center for Engineering Education and Outreach Chelsea Andrews earned her PhD in engineering education from Tufts University. Her primary research involves investigating children's engagement in engineering design through in-depth case study analysis. Prior to switching to education research, she studied environmental fluid mechanics and coastal engineering, specifically looking at wave-current boundary layer interactions. |

Corey Fucetola, Research Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering Corey Fucetola received his PhD in electrical engineering from MIT. Companies he co-founded studied the commercial viability of phase-change adhesives, consulted on cutting-edge membrane assembly projects, and built thermal testing equipment for advanced fabrics. He and his coworkers patented and published innovations in micro/nano fabrication. |

Ying Luo, Research Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering Ying Luo was formerly an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Peking University in Beijing, China. She conducts research at the interface of material science, biology, and medicine. Her research seeks to design and develop biomaterials and devices that are interactive and compatible within the human body, to repair and regenerate tissue damaged by disease and injury. |
