at the Uni- versity of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez. Subsequently, she graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a PhD in Chemical Engineering and a Masters of Science in Polymers, Colloids and Surfaces. Her disserta- tion work presented a novel technique to allow for the control of mass transport in crosslinked hydrogels with applications in the fields of biosensors and microfluidics. Under a fellowship from the National Research Council, Marvi worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Tech- nology (NIST). Her project at NIST involved the study of encapsulated neural stem cell’s viability and differentiation under AC electric fields. More recently (2008-2010), she worked as a
