Last week Moaiad Alabbasi, a second-year PhD student in our lab, presented his work at the ECS - The Electrochemical Society meeting in Seattle, WA!
Excited to see Moaiad represent the group and share this progress with the ECS community!

Congratulations to PhD student Feimo Yang on being awarded the William and Barbara Goldsmith Family Graduate Fellowship in Mechanical Engineering! This fellowship recognizes excellence among graduate students and supports Feimo’s continued academic and research contributions.
A huge congratulations to the LeDuc Lab graduating PhD students, Richard Desatnik, Latifah Almaghrabi, Mark DeAngelis, and Andres Garcia! We're so proud of all that you have accomplished and grateful for the contributions you have made to the lab. Wishing you continued success!
Grateful to join colleagues at the Beckman Institutes/Center Meeting to discuss cross-site collaboration, resource sharing, and new opportunities to advance research across the Beckman network. It is always so great being at the Beckman Center in California as an excellent venue.
Congratulations to Dr. Andres Garcia on successfully defending his PhD thesis, titled "Sensing, Control and Automation in Freeform Additive Manufacturing with Aqueous Materials."
Highlighting another impactful contribution from the lab on soft robotic manipulation, published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters! This work developed a soft gripper that can gently grasp and twist a wide range of objects, even delicate ones.

Congratulations to Mark DeAngelis on defending his Ph.D. thesis, “Autonomous Discovery and Dynamic Control for Biological Systems,” at Carnegie Mellon University!
Thank you to North Carolina State University as I am honored to share that I have been inducted into the NC State Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Alumni Hall of Fame. I am grateful for the education and community at NC State that helped shape my path.
Congratulations to Christopher Bettinger on his new role as Vice President of Biotechnology at the Novo Nordisk Foundation! It has been a pleasure to have known you in academia over the past 20 years, and I wish you all the best in this exciting next chapter.
Congratulations to our lab members Mangalam Sahai and Moaiad Alabbasi for presenting at the CMU MechE PhD Symposium this year! It was great seeing them share their work, connect with other researchers, and represent our lab.
Congratulations to Mark DeAngelis for his recent publication in Advanced Intelligent Systems! He created an automated robotic system for rapid scientific experimentation with multicellular organisms.
Congratulations to Nathan Zimmerer, a PhD student in the LeDuc Lab, for being awarded a renewal of his TL1 Trainee grant under Pittsburgh's Center for Training in Kidney, Urology, and Hematology (PCT-KUH)!
We’re excited to introduce Michelle Chang! She is a PhD student in the RI. Her current research focuses on reconfigurable microfluidic modules that can act as sensing mechanisms, with applications in interactive tactile interfaces and chemical sensing on unconventional surfaces.
Congrats to Andres Garcia on his first-author paper toward segmenting transparent 3D-printed ice in videos.

Honored to be chosen as a commencement speaker at North Carolina State University. It was a wonderful ceremony celebrating the accomplishments of so many graduates. Great spending time down in Raleigh and being a part of this special day!
We’re excited to introduce James Votruba-Drzal, a PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering, co-advised by Dr. LeDuc and Dr. Ozdoganlar!
James is working on the ARPA-H LIVE liver printing project.
Welcome, James!
Congratulations to Dr. Latifah Almaghrabi on successfully defending her Ph.D. thesis, "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Address Whole Organism Mechanosensation and Spinal Cord Regeneration!" 🎉
Congratulations to our PhD Student Alex Naglich on his T32 Training Grant! Alex is working on integrating microscale technology with cell biology, exploring using microfluidics to help understand the effects of mechanical forces on the body.
Wonderful spending time with so many amazing people from industry and academia at the recent AIMBE BEMA Roundtable Meeting on “Building Supply Chain Resilience in the Medical Device Industry” in DC. Fascinating discussions that are so important to biotech. Great seeing you all!
