@Dr_COB
Assistant Professor at @Mizzouengineer http://obryanlab.com
Last paper from the Postdoc is now out in Macromolecules! In it, we explore how changes in the crosslinking density effect the elasticity and interstitial pore structure of concentrated microgel packings. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Big shoutout to Will for winning 1st place in the engineering undergraduate poster session during Show Me Research Week ! #ShowMeResearch #MizzouResearch

My first paper was about 3D printing PDMS into organic based microgels. It was the state of the art until now! Awesome work by Senthil and Co. on pushing the limits of 3D printing! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Had a blast playing sharing our love of soft matter and polymers with the future scientist of Missouri at the CYS Expo @MizzouResearch

More postdoc work with the @CompostoLab and the Lee Lab! We used the control offered by polypeptide synthesis to investigate sequence specific polymer adsorption at the solid/liquid interface. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Happy to see @rosekster's last PhD paper finally published! Check out how she examined the effect of defects on nanoparticle diffusion in reaction-tuned tetra-PEG hydrogels. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Elon Musk hasn't funded my research lab. Does he hate Soft Matter? What's going on here @elonmusk
final grad school paper is finally out! Cellular micromasonry: biofabrication with single cell precision - now published in Soft Matter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Inspiring future Tiger Grads! Come on by and learn about our research! @mizzouengineer

Looking forward to my first conference as an assistant professor next week!! Catch me in Chicago for #SOR2022 Capillary Forces Drive Plastic Deformation and Break-up of Soft Elastic Solids IN32 Thursday 11:55am
Feel like I’m going through a rite of passage… proposal writing at a bar. Tommy would be proud.

We are thrilled to welcome 14 new faculty members to the Mizzou Engineering community! Read about the new educators and researchers: ow.ly/U9ey50KJ27S
Now there's no excuse for not reading my publications!
BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.
Happy to announce the publication on granular hydrogels, engineered T cells, HSCs, and 3D printed tumoroids! We mounted a 3D bioprinter on a microscope to precisely aspirate printed constructs and to study T cell-cancer cell interactions. doi.org/10.1016/j.bpri…
The tiger's out the bag now! I'm excited to share that I will be joining the faculty at @mizzouengineer this fall! Can't wait to bring Soft Matter Engineering to the Show Me State!
Headed to Chicago for APS next week! Excited to talk about my research and share some big news! I'll be presenting Tuesday afternoon at 4:00. See ya there! meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR22/…
