Katie Fegan is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. Having obtained her MChem degree from the University of Leicester, UK, she is now pursuing her PhD under the Physical Sciences for Health Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Birmingham, UK. Her research explores the mechanical and biological responses of a class of biomaterials called cryogels, assessing their potential for 3D-printed cardiovascular implants.
Outside of the laboratory, she enjoys channelling her passion for interdisciplinary research through science communication. In her spare time, she is often found painting, playing the piano or enjoying nature.
