About Me:

Kate M. Serralde is the founder of the Methodology Lab within the Preston Smith Library at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Bringing her background in film, philosophy, and sculpture, she is building a 3D-printing medical program for one of the largest universities in the state of Texas, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTHHSC). They currently have thirteen 3D printers and offer a 3D printing course for the TTUHSC School of Medicine that focuses on the relationship between aesthetics and medical imaging. Students learn the fundamentals of segmentation and 3D-printing, while exploring topics in cognitive science and the philosophy of aesthetics. She has been featured as part of the Woman in 3D Printing interview series, as well, presented her work at various academic conferences. Along with her interests in the philosophy of aesthetics, she is an accomplished artist with her work being featured with organizations like Fiber Art International and Boulder Contemporary Arts Museum.
