Kelsey received her B.S. degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and her M.S. from the University of Florida in 2023. Before she started her masters degree, she worked as a research tech in a computational biology lab, using semantic segmentation ML models to identify pigmentation patterns in fruit flies. She is now pursuing her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and is working on studying how ultramicroelectrode arrays (UMEAs) can be utilized to perform higher selectivity in neural stimulation via temporal and spatial current steering and recording neural responses from in vivo electrode implantations.
