DESCRIPTION:The first part of the talk will focus on the Melt 
 Electrospinning Writing process\, an emerging 3D p
 rinting technology that utilizes polymer melts for
  the fabrication of biomaterial scaffolds with cel
 lular relevant geometrical features (10 - 50 μm) t
 hat are unattainable with current 3D printing tech
 nologies. Using immunofluorescent staining and con
 focal microscopy\, detailed cell shape characteriz
 ation is performed by detecting and quantifying im
 portant cell morphometry features.  Machine learni
 ng algorithms are used for important feature extra
 ction and cell shape classification tasks. These f
 undamental cell-scaffold dimensional metrology stu
 dies allow us to inform our fabrication process an
 d engineer fibrous microenvironments that promote 
 a homogeneous cell population.
