Biography
Alexandra Jamieson is a Research Scientist II in the Biomedical Technologies Division at The University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI). She is focused on liquid polymer mold design, CAD modeling, computational simulation, and design of rehabilitation and preventative care biomedical devices as well as adaptive exercise technology.
Jamieson received her BS in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2018. She had been working at UTARI since 2016 while she was also a full-time student, and joined as full-time research staff in December 2018. Her work in silicone actuator designs and molding methods has led to the production of several soft robotic prototypes such as exoskeletons for rehabilitation of the hand, wrist, and elbow. She also works with university partners and industry to develop manufacturing methods for medical devices like the silicone wound healing glove and pressure adjusting support surfaces for preventing pressure injuries. Utilizing her interests and experience in game and art design, Jamieson began work and research to gamify UTARI technology, including the REHAB glove and Adaptive Exergame Machine.
Jamieson is a contributor to several published works: 6 conference papers, 2 journals, and 1 book chapter. In 2023, Jamieson presented the Smart Pressure Adjusting Cushion for Pressure Injuries (SPACI) at the BioNTX ic3 event in North Texas and won 1st place of the Tech Transfer Office Showcase. Her major interests are in rehabilitation and assistive technology, serious games, bio-inspired and soft robotics, and human-computer interaction.
