Overview


Trey is a 3rd year Ph.D. candidate at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering. He graduated from Duke with an M.S. in BME (2022) and the University of Alabama - Birmingham with a B.S. of BME (2021). With the BIOS lab, he studies morpho-mechanical characteristics of red blood cells using Quantitative Phase Imaging. He previously investigated mechanotransduction using combined quantitative phase and FRET images to extract uniquely coupled data.

His previous research includes work at Dr. Margaret Liu's UAB Cellular Therapy Lab where he performed a variety of assays under his graduate research advisor.

Apart from academic research Trey enjoys both listening and playing music, film, and his two cats - Pocket and Mayonnaise.
