About my creators
Brandon Patterson earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2017. His research seeks to understand the ways that ultrasound waves interact with human tissues so that new diagnostic and therapeutic medical techniques may be safely pioneered. In addition to research, Brandon engages extensively in public science outreach. He has developed and taught engineering courses and projects for K-12 students. He also serves as a co-director of the University of Michigan’s RELATE program, where he trains STEM researchers to effectively communicate their work and engage with the general public. Brandon is passionate about STEM communication and education is thrilled about writing a children’s book to reach out to the younger generation to share science with them in a fun and exciting way.
