Dr. Christopher S. O’Bryan received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida in 2019 for his work with Tommy Angelini in developing aqueous and organic microgels and demonstrating their application as a support material for soft matter 3D printing. He received his M.S. in mechanical engineering from in 2017 and his B.S. in aerospace engineering in 2012, both from the University of Florida. In 2017, he received the Student Research Award from the University of Florida for his work in developing micro-organogels for silicone 3D printing applications. Chris’s research continues to focus on understanding the destabilizing effects of interfacial tension on structures 3D printed into sacrificial support materials, as well as understanding the role of polyelectrolyte – ion interactions on the rheological behavior of jammed microgel systems.
