Sage is a postdoctoral researcher working in Dr. Michael Regnier’s group using computational models to study multi-scale interactions in muscle’s contractile machinery. After receiving her B.S. in mathematics at NDSU, she received her Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Washington. There she worked with Dr. Thomas Daniel studying the kinematics and mechanics of the sarcomeres of muscle cells. In 2020, Sage joined Dr. Padmini Rangamani’s group as a postdoc in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCSD and investigated the mechanics of cell membrane bending.
