Biography

Christopher O’Bryan is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri. He received his PhD from the University of Florida for his work in developing new methods in soft matter 3D-printing to enable the structuring of hydrogels, polymers, biopolymers, and living cells. His research focuses on exploring the instabilities that arise at the interface between soft materials, leveraging these instabilities to design new biomaterials, and developing new design principles for soft matter manufacturing.
