Skyler St. Pierre

I focus on testing the mechanical properties of alternative protein products and use computational modeling techniques such as physics-based machine learning to better understand their 3D behavior. As a mechanical engineer, I am interested in developing rigorous, standardized methods to test alternative protein products to enable cross-study comparisons. I am also passionate about getting undergraduates excited about engineering research by teaching them how to test, analyze, and critically engage with the alternative protein literature.
