Steve Kuei, Ph.D

Steve Kuei, Ph.D has a diverse work experience spanning several years. Steve began their career as an Undergraduate Researcher at the Loo Group in 2010, where they investigated the effects of substrate curvature on polymer crystallization and alignment. Steve then moved on to the Valentine Group in 2011, where they studied spectral analysis methods for flexural rigidity measurements of microtubules. Steve also worked as an Undergraduate Researcher at the Stone Group during the same time, implementing algorithms to simulate single fiber dynamics in various flows.

After completing their undergraduate studies, Steve joined the Biswal Group in 2013 as a Graduate Researcher. Here, they conducted research in colloidal physics, using magnetic fields to assemble linked colloidal chains. Steve continued their work at the Biswal Group until 2019, when they started a new role as a NRC Postdoctoral Research Associate at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. As a postdoctoral fellow, they investigated the bulk rheological response of rod solutions and their microstructural origins.

Currently, Steve holds the position of Lead Material Scientist at RLP, Rapid Liquid Print, a role they started in 2023. Overall, their work experience demonstrates their expertise in various areas of materials science and their dedication to advancing the field through research and experimentation.

Steve Kuei, Ph.D has a strong education background in chemical and biomolecular engineering. Steve first attended East Brunswick High School from 2004 to 2008. Following that, they attended Princeton University from 2008 to 2012, where they earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree, both in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Most recently, they pursued a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University from 2013 to 2019.
