We are polymer engineers that work in interdisciplinary teams to advance biomaterial science and improve clinical outcomes. We work to break down barriers and provide supportive environments where all members of our community can thrive.

Our lab is in the brand new Engineering Education and Research Center (EERC) at the University of Texas at Austin. We are located on the 7th floor at 7.646. Our student offices are at 7.614.


The ECH lab attended the Texas Biomaterials Day conference at Rice University, where Maddie won the rapid fire presentation competition!

The ECH Lab undergraduate students showcased their work at this year’s symposium—thank you for your hard work and for sharing it with us!

Derek and Maddie placed 1st and 3rd at the Society for Biomaterials 3-Minute Thesis Competition
