Team Members

Stephanie Roser
Biomedical Engineer
Team Leader
Responsibilities: Computational and Theoretical Thermal Modeling. Simulation and Derivation of Fluid Mechanics
Stephanie Roser is a senior Biomedical Engineering student at The College of New Jersey and the president of The College of New Jersey’s Society of Women Engineers. She has conducted research regarding drug delivery parameters in protein inhibition of Diabetic Mice at New York University. She has also interned at Celgene Corporation, now Brystol-Myers Squibb, with the Biologics Department’s Device and Combination Product Development team developing a lab space and protocol for in-house device mechanical testing and design. Upon graduating in the spring, she plans to attend graduate school seeking a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering.

Jared Posselt
Biomedical Engineer
Budget and Timeline Manager
Responsibilities: Designing, Constructing, and Testing an Artificial Thermal Model of the Human Hand
Jared is a senior Biomedical Engineering major at The College of New Jersey. He works as an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Christopher Wagner’s tissue engineering laboratory where he is developing a dynamic mechanical bioreactor system for ligament tissue engineering on electrospun polymer nanofiber scaffolds. He interns at LifeCell Corporation, an Allergan Affiliate, where he works on a process engineering team supporting the manufacture of acellular dermal matrix products. Post-graduation, he plans to pursue a career in the tissue engineering or medical device industry

Randolff “RJ” Carpenter
Biomedical Engineer
Secretary
Responsibilities: Designing and Constructing Device Housing, Project Integration, IRB
Randolff is a senior Biomedical Engineering major at The College of New Jersey. He is the current president of his school’s Biomedical Engineering Society chapter and current vice president of his school’s Tau Beta Pi chapter. Randolff works as a student researcher at TCNJ under Dr. Anthony Lau studying the effects of space radiation on bone strength. Prior to entering his senior year, Carpenter conducted research at The Ohio State University in their Injury Biomechanics Research Center studying blunt force trauma to the skull as well as shadowing on highly automated vehicle research involving the use of cadaver testing. Post-graduation, Carpenter plans on attending graduate school seeking a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering.

Blake Capella
Electrical Engineer
Webmaster
Responsibilities: System Identification and Simulation, System Architecture, Digital Logic Controller, Process Controller, Safety Mechanism Circuit Design, Device Assembly
Blake is a senior Electrical Engineering major at the College of New Jersey as well as a Bonner Community Scholar with TCNJ’s Center for Community Engaged Learning and Research. He has conducted research at Carnegie Mellon University designing novel human action recognition algorithms within the School of Computer Science’s Human and Computer Interaction Institute. After spending a semester studying at the University of Newcastle in Australia, he has returned to TCNJ with an interest in exploring the intersection of control theory and sustainability, public health, or neuroscience. Post-graduation, Blake plans on attending graduate school seeking a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering.
