Skyler Morse is a Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. student in the University of Maine GSBSE. He is from South Portland, Maine, and graduated from the University of Maine with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering May of 2025 with minors in Anthropology, Bioinstrumentation, and Mathematics. During his undergraduate career, he participated in several research projects, including using both the 2D Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima anisotropy and segmentation methods to analyze invasive ductal carcinoma and glioblastoma, for which he won two research-based awards.

In the first year of his Ph.D., he participated in a laboratory rotation at CompuMAINE with Dr. Andre Khalil, as well as two rotations at MaineHealth Institute for Research with Drs. Lucy Liaw and Qingchu Jin. Skyler is co-mentored by Khalil and Liaw, and is currently working on an interdisciplinary collaborative project between their labs. This project is utilizing the anisotropy method to differentiate between perivascular adipose tissue near and far from the site of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, with hopes of it one being used to predict the risk of aneurysm rupture.

Outside of the lab, he loves to listen to music and play video games with his friends.
