Meagan Moore
Meagan Moore is a biological engineering and art sculpture student with a background in science and art. Dubbed “Meagan the Maker,” she is a creative force using her wealth of unique artistic and problem-solving talents to find solutions for virtually everything. While doing research in a medical physics lab, Moore created the first whole-body 3D-printed phantom, an imaging device utilized as a substitute for human tissue. Meagan was awarded by Yale’s Small World Initiative on her research in microbiological antibiotic-resistance work with recognition in “scientific persistence,” and has published previously in Biomedical Physics and Engineering Express, Journal of Biogeography, and the Textile Research Journal. As director of STEM for an all-girls school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Moore recently received the ITEEA (International Technology and Engineering Educator’s Association) STEM School of Excellence Award. Four of her art pieces are currently on display at LASM (Louisiana Art and Scien
What Inspired You to Make This?
I got accepted into a residency to go take 3D-prints and turn them into cast iron.
