Ashlee N. Ford Versypt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo (UB), The State University of New York. She is also an Affiliated Faculty in the Department of Engineering Education and Core Faculty in the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences. Dr. Ford Versypt holds three degrees in chemical engineering: a B.S. from the University of Oklahoma and an M.S. and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2012-2014 Dr. Ford Versypt was a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She started her academic career at Oklahoma State University (OSU) where she was an assistant professor 2014-2020 and then a tenured associate professor until January 2021 before moving to UB. Dr. Ford Versypt leads the Systems Biomedicine and Pharmaceutics Laboratory. The long-term goal for her research program is to develop multiscale mathematical and computational models to enhance understanding of the mechanisms governing tissue remodeling and damage as a result of diseases and infections and to simulate the treatment of those conditions to improve human health. She has received several awards for her research, teaching, and service including the NSF CAREER Award, ASEE Chemical Engineering Division Fahien Award, ASEE Midwest Section Outstanding Service Award, AIChE 35 Under 35, the OSU Outstanding Achievement for the Mentorship of Women, and the OSU College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology Excellent Teacher Award. Her research program is currently funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. She teaches CE 212 Fundamental Principles of Chemical Engineering (Material and Energy Balances) and CE 531 Chemical Engineering Mathematics and Computation.
