He earned a bachelors degree in engineering physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Then, he earned a doctorate in Bioengineering as a student in the joint graduate program in Bioengineering at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco, working in the field of cytoskeletal mechanics. From there, he went on to do a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, researching in the areas of biomaterials, mechanotransduction, and cancer biology. His group's research interests are in understanding how mechanical cues regulate cell biology. More information can be found at: http://chaudhurilab.stanford.edu.
