About

Tori Ellison is currently a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida working in the Angelini lab group. Her research is focused on soft matter engineering; investigating cell mechanics in the 3D environment using jammed microgels. Tori received her B.S. degree in material sciences and engineering from the University of Florida in 2016.
