Lindsay Stoy is a biomedical engineering PhD student at the University of Arizona. She graduated from Widener University in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree. While completing her undergraduate degree she investigated the biomechanical properties of nerve segments to understand the mechanisms of brachial plexus palsy. She worked as a mechanical test engineer and a quality engineer in the medical device industry. She completed a master’s degree in biomedical engineering at Widener University while working full-time in industry. Her master’s work included evaluating spinal cord injury rehabilitation treatments through bone biomechanics and microstructure analysis. She then decided to pursue a doctoral degree and joined the Regenerative Neurobiology and Neuroelectronics Laboratory in 2024. Her current research focuses on studying electrical stimulation and growth factor treatments to enhance the repair of long-gap nerve injuries.
Research Interests: peripheral nerve injury, nerve regeneration, biomaterials, biomechanics
